| | 7 | === UUIDs === |
| | 8 | We need an agreed set of [http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/wiki/UUID UUID]s for GIS Data so that we can share data more easily across systems. |
| | 9 | * !OpenStreetMap IDs can change over time if records are deleted/recreated |
| | 10 | * They can [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Humanitarian_OSM_Tags/Humanitarian_Data_Model#ID hold additional uid/uuid fields] though |
| | 11 | * Geonames data isn't free enough for OSM: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Geonames |
| | 12 | * Ushahidi doesn't have a common set of IDs across instances |
| | 13 | * No space for a UUID either? |
| | 14 | * Longer-term we need a common central repository of UUIDs that is held for the common good. |
| | 15 | * Propose that Sahana start this off & then give up ownership/branding later: |
| | 16 | * Sahana can use UUIDs of format: http://geo.sahanafoundation.org/<ID> |
| | 17 | * These are asscoaietd with an OSM ID for cross-correlation |
| | 18 | * IDs from Ushahidi instances can be appended to the comments field in Sahana |
