Tools
These are tools specific for the Denmark, as they use Danish government data. They can be used to find problems in the Danish map.
+ http://osm.elgaard.net/ Live update with all kinds of missing data. Check your own neighbourhood!
+ https://digitalfrihed.dk/restaurants/all.html Uses info from health inspection to maintain a list of restaurants.
Country specific tags
The Danish government has a open data policy, which allows us to import government data into OSM. To keep track, country-specific tags can be added.
Tags (starting with) osak, AWS, are about the Danish address register. See https://danmarksadresser.dk/
Tags starting with BBR are about the Danish building registry. See https://bbr.dk/forside
Tags (starting with) CVR are about the Danish register of companies (CVR number= VAT number). See https://datacvr.virk.dk/data/
Tags containing "FVST" are about the "Fødevarestyrelse", the food- and health inspection.
As of now (2021), all data is accessible in API form from https://datafordeler.dk/

I (User:miki) have registered the openstreetmap.dk domain. Do we want to use it, and for what? Right now it is just a shortcut to the map of Denmark on .org. I imagine we could have some more dedicated Danish community stuff there, and by time maybe mirror data (tiles, way db etc) related to Danish territory to speed up access for Danish users? Or maybe all mapping related stuff should be left at .org and .dk be used as entry point for ordinary non-mapping Danish users of OSM?
Inconsistent tagging of Danish roads
If I read the wiki correctly a Danish road can only be secondary if it has a route number such as 211. If this is true then the vast majority of secondary roads in Copenhagen and Nordsjælland should become tertiary. This ruleset is followed in many parts of the country but not everywhere. I have a feeling that the map of Copenhagen would look strange if all the secondary roads inside the ring road O2 became tertiary and perhaps the web interface to the map of Copenhagen would become less useful, so I don't know if this retagging is a good idea, but at least it would be helpful for new users if the entire country could agree on the same set of rules. nielsellegaard

The inconsistencies have been fixed. Maybe we should delete this section now nielsellegaard
There is another inconsistent tagging problem which concerns the Danish-German border because there are no Danish secondary routes connecting German Landesstraßen. Maybe the road planners in Copenhagen didn't see the necessity to establish border-crossing secondary roads but I do. So I am going to tag those roads which connect the Danish-German border with the Danish numbered network as secondary roads. --FK270673 12:45, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
