Patterns of tagging in OpenStreetMap data in urban areas

چکیده
OpenStreetMap (OSM) contributors are free to apply any tags (key-value pairs) they wish to geographic objects in the OSM database. Guidance for tagging is provided by many sources (Wikis, OSM editors, mailing lists, etc). In general contributors do not always follow these guidelines. In this paper we develop an approach to extract and analyse patterns of tagging of OSM data in urban areas. We find that there are local variations and other factors which see an in-homogeneous approach to tagging in different cities and regions. Our results can contribute to developing ’best practice’ approaches for tagging in OSM.
