Motivation
I have 303 items ready to load (a mix of updates and creations) from the 2016 Ontario public library statistics using QuickStatements. However, to ease updates once 2017 statistics are available, and to support retroactively adding historical data, I would like to be able to include the Ontario library ID during this initial load.

Comment@Dan scott: Please make the example link.Thank you David (talk) 15:25, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
- David I cannot turn the example IDs into a link, because the IDs are currently stored only in the CSV files that the open data portal makes available for download. This is why I did not provide a formatter URL. Dan scott (talk) 16:09, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
Support This seems to be another useful external ID for authority control. Acka47 (talk) 19:39, 24 April 2018 (UTC)- Support This will be helpful in creating structured data for public libraries in Ontario.--Smallison (talk) 22:35, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
