Used on buildings and address nodes mapped in Brussels, Belgium until 2025. This is a unique identifier.

This key is optional but strongly recommended. It is used by scripts aimed at comparing building geometries of UrbIS source data and OSM, and to reliably associate addresses with buildings, even in cases where the real location of an address is outside the building area.

The Brussels government no longer publishes address or building data containing this identifier. ref:databrussels=* is the new key to use on building outlines and on address nodes.
