Hi,
I saw that you have proposed the creation of WIGOS ID. I work with a meteorologist of Environment Canada and they want to give access to the data of their ~8750 meteorological stations. We have created the Wikidata:WikiProject Weather observations for that, and maybe more (other countries).
We think we must follow the « New York way », but we have 2 problems :

1. We don't know what the "int.wmo.wigos-0-20000-0-" is for ? It seems to be a URL path, but I see nothing online about that.
2. Our WMO ID have 6 numbers, and the WIGOS ID have 5 numbers. Example : Q3155098#P4136 = 71074 and our number = 710741. Do you have a clue about why it is like that ? Ok, this was a misinterpretation from our side.

Can you help us ? If not, do you know someone who can ?

@Simon Villeneuve: That's a great project! For use of WIGOS station ID (P4136), I found previously that page 106 of Manual on the WMO Integrated Global Observing System (Q28686657) is the authoritative WMO source on how to format the WIGOS identifier (Q28686426).
