Hello everyone,

This is my first post to the list, which I've just joined, but I've
been a mapper for a few years and some of you might remember me as
compere at last year's State of the Map.

Yesterday, I met with the W3Cs'  "data on the web best practice"
working group. At their request, I gave a talk on the use of URIs
(particularly linked data URIs) and related tags,  in OSM.

I described, and we then discussed, how we tag entities in OSM, using
UIDs but not necessarily URLs, and issues facing data users who need
to resolve those UIDs back to URLs; ...
On my side, I often pointed out how little URL are used and that they could be used (consumed) by auto-recognizing them in tags where they were not initially supposed to be, like operator=*.
I opened a JOSM bug saying that many presets lack the Website tag box where to enter an URL.
I suggested embedding.
They created a full Annotation:Contact preset and a command to embed a preset into another.
Remains to effectively embed in defective presets that Contact preset containing the Website box.
I also pointed out that for a user to help improve presets while tagging along, presets should be reloadable.
They claimed that stopping/restarting JOSM during a work session is a mere matter !!!  Not so.
They finally said that they can improve the presets themselves.
Bottom line:
If you find a missing Website tag box in a JOSM preset, open a bug to request a Contact embedding.

Practically yours,
Cheers,

André.
