Danmark (Denmark) is a country in Europe at latitude 55°56′24.00″ North, longitude 11°14′20.40″ East.
Denmark has an active community of OpenStreetMap contributors who work to develop and maintain the map's coverage in the country. The detailed mapping in Denmark is supported not only by the efforts of local mappers but also by access to publicly available data through Denmark's open data policy. This includes up-to-date address data and aerial imagery that is updated annually, providing valuable resources for mapping and ensuring a high level of accuracy and detail in the map.
This page contains information relating to mapping activity that is specific to Denmark.

Address nodes in Denmark
In the Danish part of OpenStreetMap, addresses are always represented as separate address nodes, rather than being tagged directly on buildings or other features. These nodes are not intended to carry any additional tags beyond address information.
The address nodes in Denmark are maintained through an automated import and update process based on high-quality open government data. Because of this, manual edits or relocations of these nodes are strongly discouraged, as any such changes will be overwritten or reverted during the next scheduled update.

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.
Tags starting with BBR concerns the Danish building registry.
Tags (starting with) CVR are about the Danish register of companies (CVR number= VAT number).
Tags containing FVST concern the "Fødevarestyrelse", the food- and health inspection.
As of now (2021), all data is accessible in API form from Datafordeleren
Contact channels
Danish discussions concerning the map mainly happens at the community forum for Denmark.
The mailing-list talk-dk is also still used.
