Introduction
Credits and legal issues
Credits go to OpenSteetMap and to Geofabrik. This document is licensed under CC-BY-SA. The data referred to is from OpenStreetMap planet file licensed under ODbL 1.0.
Goal, scope, and limits
The OSMaxx extracts are designed for broad usage. This goes beyond the transformations usually necessary to create a topological map.
There are known limits, omissions and bugs, which are being tracked in the GitHub-repository https://github.com/geometalab/osmaxx/issues.
Status of this document and future releases
This document and the project just started and thus is in e pre-mature state.
These are possible enhancements in next releases:
- File STATISTICS.txt which contains a report about tables, attributes and it's rows and values.
- Final data model (V.3?)
- Adding attribute height to tables like poi_p from external digital terrain model data like SRTM3.
How OSM data is being curated (discussion)
Semicolons in tag values:
- Data value will be changed to ‘others’ for such events
Data Cleaning:
- Spelling errors
- Upper case errors
- Values singular and plural
- Handling values which contains words
Elevation: Elevation values will not be set in this release.
Type-'others'. Data value will be change to ‘others’ as it cannot be categorized. This is introduced to ensure values that are misspelled, concatenated, illegible or user defined are sorted accordingly into their table. Seeing this type of value given to some feature is due to a few reasons. 1) Data is not in the list of core value to be considered. 2) Value is being given by users where we might know understand the value significance.
Grouping of features. unable to group features like airports and power station as buildings are not defined to specific areas to be able to group them together.
Multiple Table. There are instances where different table can contain the same feature. e.g. buildings_a and poi_a (like campus areas or school areas) where it can overlap one another. This have not been resolve, therefore, users do take note of double entry.
'Refer to table'. This is to keep the documentation short and not allowing it to repeat the common attribute value which is similar to other table.
Administrative boundary extracted on the fly and placed into boundary_l table but these are without warranty to be consistent. There exist other sources with validated boundaries including country borders and coastlines.
Landcover contains partial landuse elements while some landcover elements are put into natural or water.
Building addresses are not yet handled due to the complexity of this issue.
Specification
Identifiers
The original OSM schema contains an id (type bigint) for every element node,way and relation. This OSM id is mapped to attribute osm_id (see chapter “Common Attributes”). The id in OSM is not stable but often the only one, one can work with. During transformation I can happen that thie osm_id is being changed or duplicated:
osm2pgsqlgenerates areas/polygons out of ways and relations. These objects get negative values of the way or the relation.osm2pgsqlsplits ways which are too long- tags can contain many values separated by semicolon (e.g. “shop-a;b”); this object may be split into two for each shop-value (“shop-a” and “shop-b”) while the osm_id os maintained.
Metadata
- Datum (coordinate reference system) of data: WGS84 (EPSG: 4326)
- Character Encoding: UTF-8
File Names
Base file names are formed according to following template: osm_tablename_g_vNN (example: osm_building_a_v01.gpkg) ... with following meaning:
- osm_: Prefix
- tablename: A table name from the data model.
- _g: layer geometry type (g is a char out of “p”, “l” or “a”, meaning point, linestring, area/polygon)
- vNN: Version of the data model
For some roads and other tables of geometry type (Multi-)Linestring, there will be tables with
generalized geometry, called _gen0, _gen1 as follows (gen- generalized):
_gen0: smoothed for highest zoom level_gen1: simplified_gen2: more simplified
example: osm_building_a_gen1_v01.gpkg
Layer Specification Headers
| Headers | Description |
|---|---|
| Additional Attribute | This is the addition attribute that is introduce to the table to provide more information on top of the Common Layer Attributes. |
| Values of attributes 'type' | Tells what the database values might contain based on the description of the tables under 3. Layer Overview. It also helps to defined the value meanings to remove unwanted vagueness. |
| Values of attributes 'aggtype' and 'type' | Same as the above but this table includes the aggregrate values which is to group the 'type' with more specific grouping |
Common Attributes
These attributes are common to all tables except the ones derived from OSM costline data processed by openstreetmapdata.com.
| Attribute | Data Type | Description | Osm Tags | osm2pgsql column |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| osm_id | bigint | The ID of the OSM element (node, way or relationship) corresponding to the feature. The uniqueness is only within an OSM element. OSM does not guarantee uniqueness. But it's often the only ID one can get from the origin. osm2pgsql generates negative osm_ids when areas are created from relations. And osm2pgsql creates sometimes duplicates by splitting large ways. |
osm_id |
|
| lastchange | timestamp without time zone | The timestamp of the last time the feature was changed (UTC) | osm_lastchange=* |
|
| geomtype | varchar(1) | This will define whether it is a node (“N”), a way (“W”) or a relation (“R”). | (n/a) | |
| geom | geometry(geometry, 4326) | The “geometry” of the feature can be POINT, MULTILINESTRING or MULTIPOLYGON | way |
|
| type | text(Enum) | This will define the feature type | ||
| name | text | The feature's (locally or regionally) common default name i.e. the one usually displayed on street signs. May be in a non-Latin script (cyrillic, arabic etc.) | name=* |
|
| name_en | text | The feature's English name | name:en=* |
|
| name_fr | text | The feature's French name | name:fr=* |
|
| name_es | text | The feature's Spanish name | name:es=* |
|
| name_de | text | The feature's German name | name:de=* |
|
| name_int | text | The international name of the feature | int_name=* |
|
| label | text | A name of the feature readable by those only knowing Latin script. See below for details. | ||
| tags | text | Additional OSM tags in form "<key>"=>"<value>", separated by , , e.g. "network"=>"RMV", "note:de"=>"RB34 ist das Teilstück Stockheim bis Bad Vilbel" or "name:ca"=>"Frankfurt del Main", "name:ru"=>"Франкфурт-на-Майне", "de:place"=>"city", "wikidata"=>"Q1794", "short_name"=>"Frankfurt", "name:prefix"=>"Stadt", "de:regionalschluessel"=>"064120000000", "TMC:cid_58:tabcd_1:Class"=>"Area", "TMC:cid_58:tabcd_1:LCLversion"=>"9.00", "TMC:cid_58:tabcd_1:LocationCode"=>"414", "de:amtlicher_gemeindeschluessel"=>"06412000" |

Attribute label
The intended audience of a map you create from OSMaxx data
might not (only) be the regional population in or near the mapped area.
A feature's or place's common name might thus be in a script
that is hard to (re-)recognize and remember, let alone pronounce
by members of your audience.
As a convenience when producing maps for non-local audiences,
OSMaxx provides a feature name suitable for such audiences
(under the assumption that they do know Latin script)
in the attribute label
according to the following logic:
- The feature's common name (OSM tag
name=*) is used if it already is is in Latin script. - Else, the feature's English, French, Spanish or German name (in this precedence) is used,
if known to OSM (tag
name:<language>=*). - Else, the feature's international name (tag
int_name) is transliterated to Latin and the result is used, if the international name is known to OSM. - Else, the feature's common name (
name=*) is transliterated to Latin and the result is used.
Note that a transliteration is not a transcription. In contrast to a transcription it
- doesn't generally give the right idea about the name's correct pronunciation.
- might contain non-pronunciation-related diacritics and punctuation that allows for lossless back-transliteration to the origianl script.
