Use for referencing a bench's entry on Open Benches.
Openbenches, inspired by a similar site that records historic plaques, uses crowdsourcing to record the inscriptions on memorial benches, it does this via an uploaded photo that acts as a reference, provides the location (via its geotags) and the text of the inscription extracted using image recognition.[1]
OpenBenches allows for a direct import, see the contributors page for more information.
Usage
Use the ID number (from the URL slug) on the bench's page at https://openbenches.org as an OSM-Tag.
Generally best used with amenity=bench and an inscription=*. Often used in combination with historic=memorial and memorial=bench.
The images are creative-common licence so can be used with the image=* key, they typically take the format https://openbenches.org/image/e2e2406f61c73f6293324a291ed95c888509e2b1
