Format change[edit]

I hope nobody minds, but I have changed the format for values of this property from "osgb...." to just the string of digits. Removing the "osgb" allows easy dereferencing for many values at http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/id/....

However, it should be noted that that site only allows some TOID values to be dereferenced -- namely, those included in the former 50k Gazetteer, and those in the former Boundary-Line set of administrative boundaries.

Some TOID values -- such as 1000006032892 for the en:Tower of London, previously used as the signature example for the property -- are not available at the above URL, despite being correct. I suggest that these could be marked with the qualifier part of (P361) OS MasterMap (Q7073065). Jheald (talk) 10:00, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
