Thank you all for responding. I've commented in order

Dear François & Jo,

There are 240,000 drinking fountains  nodes (with the two tag forms) tagged globally. Although, your suggestion seems a reasonable one, unless there is master plan for unique id maintenance, I am loathe to adding ref tags which might end up being poorly maintained stale pollution.

Dear Mateusz,

If I understand correctly, I can query the database for historic data states.  For how long is the historic data maintained ? Do all of the servers below have the historic data ?

Dear Simon,

What do you mean by  "+ version" ? Are you referring to a timestamp or a something else ?

The version number.

See https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/173244595#map=18/-33.89163/151.27633

Way 173244595 is presently version 13. Version 1 would be when it was first created.


For ways, which I am only starting to look to consider, maybe I could look for objects with a similar geometric center for the replacement object.

Best regards,

Stuart

    It should be noted that (for Nodes) id + version is actually
    stable (Ways and Relations are more complicated).

    So if you have id + version, you can

    - check that it is the current version of the object (all fine and
    dandy)

    - check if there is a later (undeleted) version, check if it
    (depending on your criteria) is still the "same object", update
    version in your reference

    - if the last version is deleted or your criteria for it being the
    same object doesn't hold, search in the vicinity for a replacement
    object.

    Doing the same for Ways and Relations requires including a
    location reference of some kind as geometry changes are not
    reflected in the versions, but can work in principle the same.

    Dear All,

    I am looking for a way to create permanent links  to specific
    objects (fountains and cafés) with images within our application
    ... and I have a couple of questions.

    How quickly do OSM node and ways numbers mutate ?  What
    percentage should I expect to change each year.  If the
    percentage of ids mutates slowly enough .. maybe this is still
    the best bad short term option ?

    I was pointed to this wiki :
    https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Permanent_ID

    On the discussion page, it is mentioned that a solution is being
    targeted for end 2020 . Will there be a tool to translate actual
    osm node and ways numbers to the new permalink ids.

    Apparently Mangrove uses GEO URI to create perma links towards
    objects. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geo_URI_scheme. How do
    they deal with node repositioning ?  I could create a link name
    with first 5 latitude num followed by first 5 longitude num...
    but as soon as someone moves the node I would get a broken link...

    Thanks for your help and advice

    Best regards,

    Stuart
