# 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
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
### Java/Android
|
|
|
|
The [westnordost/osmfeatures](https://github.com/westnordost/osmfeatures) project,
|
|
a component of [StreetComplete](https://github.com/westnordost/StreetComplete),
|
|
makes it easier to use this data with Android or other Java platforms.
|
|
|
|
## Related Projects
|
|
|
|
iD also incorporates preset data from the [name-suggestion-index](https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index).
