Tagging
There are various ways on how to tag housenumbers using the widely used Karlsruhe Schema. A recommended way to tag it is to use this schema:
Tags

Reminders
- VERY IMPORTANT: NEVER add the name tag (name=*) on the housenumbers. Nobody wants to know where you live, where your friends live, where you did it (don't ask me what "it" is), where some you know lives, or where your favorite celebrities live. Because there are people who are paranoid about their security.
- Try to map housenumbers during siesta time (1-4 PM), since a good percentage of the populace are tired and sleepy. Especially in places where locals are known for their violent behavior. Don't map housenumbers between 10 PM and 5 AM (local time)
- Have an identification card (and OpenStreetMap promotional materials) to prove (to certain people, especially occupants and local officials) that you aren't a crook/thief scouting for houses to loot or a "stalker".
- If necessary, coordinate with the local authorities (preferably with barangay officials) before mapping, especially if you’re gathering “sensitive” data like housenumbers. this will lessen their suspicion.
