# iD Tagging Schema
|
|
|
|
This is the directory of OpenStreetMap tagging data used by the [iD editor](https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD).
|
|
It includes presets, fields, deprecations, and more.
|
|
|
|
## Background
|
|
|
|
OpenStreetMap itself does not have a formal tagging [schema](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_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
|
|
|
|
## Integrations
|
|
|
|
This schema incorporates data from the [name-suggestion-index](https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index).

### Making Changes
|
|
|
|
Documentation for the data formats is located with the [schema-builder](https://github.com/ideditor/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.
