Motivation

There are some 1.700 bridges in Amsterdam, and all of those bridges have a number. Unfortunately there is no appropiate property to use them. Right now many of the Amsterdam bridges use series ordinal (P1545), but that seems wrong. It's ment as a qualifier, and bridge numbers are not really an ordinal, but an identifier.

As far as i know the bridge number is an unique concept to the city of Amsterdam, so i'm open to naming this propery "Amsterdam bridge number", but making it a bit more general (and using a qualifier to distinguish the municipality, i guess located in the administrative territorial entity (P131) would be appropiate) could make this property more useful in the future. This property would be comparable to street key (P1945). Husky (talk) 23:08, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

Andy is right, this property is probably not needed. I'm going to change bridge numbers with the catalog / catalog code. Husky (talk) 22:29, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
