This is the directory of OpenStreetMap tagging data used by the iD editor. It includes presets, fields, deprecations, and more.
OpenStreetMap itself does not have a formal tagging schema, but editing tools need to know how tags are used in order to facilitate mapping. This Tagging Schema fills that need, but with a number of caveats:
- This isn't authoritative or definitive
- Tagging interpretations may vary from mapper to mapper, place to place, and over time
- Our primary aim is to serve the needs of iD mappers (but other tools are welcome to use this too)
- We support tags based on practicality, usage, and community approval
- Sometimes there are reasons we can't support a tag even if it's used or approved
The westnordost/osmfeatures project, a component of StreetComplete, makes it easier to use this data with Android or other Java platforms.
iD also incorporates preset data from the name-suggestion-index.
iD's code of conduct and privacy policy also apply to this project.
Documentation for the data formats is located with the schema-builder
package, which is the technical basis of this project. To make a change, update a
file within the data folder and rebuild by running npm run build in your terminal.
