La comunidá alcuerda ciertes combinaciones de claves y valores pa les etiquetes d'usu más común, que tómense como estándares informales. Sicasí, los usuarios puen crear etiquetes nueves p'ameyorar l'estilu del mapa o dar encontu a analises que dependen d'atributos de les carauterístiques qu'antes nun taben nel mapa. Puen alcontrase unes descripciones curties de les etiquetes rellacionaes con un tema o interés determináu usando les páxines de carauterístiques.

La mayoría de carauterístiques puen describise usando namái un pequeñu númberu d'etiquetes, como un camín con una etiqueta de clasificacion como highway=footway, y escurque tamién el nome usando name=*. Pero como esti ye un mapa mundial inclusivu, puen esistir munchos tipos diferentes de carauterístiques n'OpenStreetMap, casi toos ellos descritos con etiquetes.

Pa los detalles de más etiquetes y de cambios propuestos a les etiquetes esistentes visita Proposed features y Deprecated features.

Building

This is used to identify individual buildings or groups of connected buildings. See the page Buildings for further details on the usage of this tag and man_made=* for tagging of various other structures. The building tags are intended for the physical description of a building: for functions in the building (e.g. police station, church, townhall, museum) you should add additional tags like amenity=*, tourism=*, shop=* etc.

For example mapping building=supermarket is not enough to mark place as having an active supermarket shop, it just marks that building has form typical for supermarket buildings. shop=supermarket must be mapped to indicate an active supermarket shop. On the other hand shop=*/amenity=* is not indicating building by itself, building must be mapped with building=* tag.

Common landuse key values - developed land

landuse commercial nodo área Predominantly commercial businesses and their offices. Commercial businesses which sell goods should be categorised as landuse=retail.

Commercial businesses can also include office buildings and business parks which have limited interface with the public and sell their services either on site, or externally. Commercial businesses have low amounts of public foot traffic.

Government services and businesses predominantly mapped as commercial too and used as such by data consumers! See more information on operator:type to set it as government to distinguish from private or others.
civic_admin is an abandoned proposal, civic has no documentation, institutional is to ambiguous and all three only find minimal support in the mapping community.

Tracks

railway abandoned vía The course of a former railway which has been abandoned and the track removed. The course is still recognized through embankments, cuttings, tree rows, bridges, tunnels, remaining track ties, building shapes and rolling or straight ways. For demolished rails that are no longer identifiable, e.g. that have been built over, some use the highly questionable railway=razed. Not rendered by OSM Carto
