Besides that McD is not the operator, this would be an additional way to eliminate ambiguity in some cases, of course you could still be mapping "operator=*" and it will be sufficient in many cases. It is also not given that the mapper would have to read or write "Q38076", the editor could lookup the full name from the db and present this to the mapper in the editor. In the context of identifying operators I'd also like to mention the tag "ref:vatin=countrycode:vat_identification_number" to tag the tax number of a business. Anyway, currently it seems as if there is almost no other information in the wikidata tables than the article reference to wikipedia, so it doesn't look like an improvement compared to the tag wikipedia. You could also use operator:wikipedia=McDonald's for operator information, I agree (wouldn't that qualify as an URI as well?). cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
