Lake: a body of relatively still fresh or salt water of considerable size, localized in a basin that is surrounded by land. Artificially created lakes are tagged as water=pond or water=reservoir. Intermittent lakes (which disappear seasonally) should be tagged with intermittent=yes; salt lakes — with salt=yes.
Example
For 
Lake Baikal area tags would be as follows:
natural=water water=lake name=Baikal
Islands

of the island on the shore line
- add place=island or if it is very small place=islet
- optional landuse=* can be added. For example, if the island is wooded, add landuse=forest.
- create a relation type=multipolygon
- add the attributes as described above
- add the lake as member outer
