Tagwatch
From OpenStreetMap
Tagwatch tries to generate a page similar to Map Features, automatically.
- It looks for the tags actually being used within OSM, rather than what someone says ought to be used
- It uses the actual rendering (from osmarender z17 tilesheet), so you can see what the feature looks like on the map
See the results:
- Europe and European countries updated daily
- new sample output Europe, data from 15-Jul-2008 04:36.

Developing
- Source code
- Requires Perl, LWP, Perl Mediawiki module, Perl Math::Round, Inkscape, xsltproc, etc.
Editable inputs
These are all wiki pages, which lets us watch and access-control peoples' changes to them. When you run the program, these pages get read in and used to construct the HTML pages.
| Tagwatch/Photos | Photos (JPEG) of what each tag represents |
| Tagwatch/Descriptions | Description of each tag. (Still used but deprecated by Tag:Key=value pages) |
| Tagwatch/Watchlist | Tags to index in greater detail |
| Tagwatch/Interface | User interface, in various languages |
| Tagwatch/Volatile | Values of this tag are expected to be unique, and not worth grouping (e.g. name or ref) |
| Tagwatch/Ignore | Keys to ignore, because they're internal metadata (e.g. created_by, from, to, lat, lon, timestamp) |
| Not yet used: | |
| Tagwatch/Translations | Links to word-definitions and translations |
| Tagwatch/Wikipedia | Links to wikipedia pages describing each tagged feature (note: we can get additional-language articles automatically once we have the first wikipedia link) |
| Tagwatch/Combinations | Frequently used tag combinations rendered differently |
