[OSM-dev] Tag-info: Tag descriptons

[Imre Samu]

Hi Dave,

> From where does tag-info derive the descriptions for each tag?

from the osm wiki
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Taginfo/Sources#Wiki

>place=farm is "Individually named farm (but not isolated)." which I
believe is incorrect.

see "Description"  on the wiki page :
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:place%3Dfarm

wiki source:

{{ValueDescription

|key=place

|value=farm

|description=*Individually named farm (but not isolated).*

|onNode=yes

|onWay=no

|onArea=yes

|status=In use



Best,
 Imre
