# 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 rigid [database schema](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_schema),
|
|
but relies on a [tagging](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tags) [folksonomy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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
|
|
|
|
## Translations
|
|
|
|
* English translations for the `terms`-key should be added to the JSON data ([Example](https://github.com/openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema/blob/v3.1.0/data/presets/natural/shrub.json#L16-L19)).
|
|
|
|
* Apart from that, translations are managed [in the Transifex Project of the iD Editor](https://www.transifex.com/openstreetmap/id-editor/) inside the translation resource _'preset'_.
|
|
|
|
To translate, you can [open the translation page](https://www.transifex.com/openstreetmap/id-editor/translate/), select a language, select _'preset'_ and search for `key:living_street` or `translation_text:'Living Street'` to find and change translations.
|
|
|
|
To contribute to a language: [Select a language](https://www.transifex.com/openstreetmap/id-editor/languages/) and use 'Join team' to request access. The administrators will approve requests routinely, only rejecting requests for overly specific locales.
|
|
|
|
* All translation changes will be released whenever [a new id-tagging-schema release is created](https://github.com/openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema/releases). They will be visible inside iD and other editors once those editors update their dependencies and release a new version as well.
|
|
|
|
## 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
|
|
|
|
* The [OpenStreetMap wiki](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_features) documents the current usage of tags, and hosts discussions about proposed new tags.
|
|
*
|
|
* iD also incorporates preset data from the [name-suggestion-index](https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index).
