iD Tagging Schema

This is the directory of OpenStreetMap tagging data used by the iD editor. It includes presets, fields, deprecations, and more.

Participate!

Background

OpenStreetMap itself does not have a formal rigid database schema, but relies on a tagging folksonomy instead.

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

Usage

Java/Android

The westnordost/osmfeatures project, a component of StreetComplete, makes it easier to use this data with Android or other Java platforms.

Use by Other Editors

iD tagging schema is used not only by iD. Here's a list of projects which use the data from the id-tagging-schema.

  • The OpenStreetMap wiki documents the current usage of tags, and hosts discussions about proposed new tags.
  • The ideditor/schema-builder project holds the documentation for the data format used in this repository
  • iD also incorporates preset data from the name-suggestion-index.
  • Other editors also include their own models of interpretations of OSM tags. See for example Vespucci's or JOSM's tagging presets.
