Motivation edit
This is used as the primary key for UK bus and HGV operators, and would be useful to have as an identifier here, especially sole traders where a companies house id is unavailable. Alex Noble (talk) 11:06, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
Discussion edit
Comment Would you add somewhere in label or description that this is for the UK? Also, as it seems to be a unique identifier, I think it should have "external-id" datatype, not "monolingual text" as currently. 20:02, 20 August 2020 (UTC)--- Jura
