Some more:

   - Various forms of algorithm-driven generalizations: simplifications of
   roads and polygons, merging of polygons with same or similar landuse,
   elimination of polygons that are too small for given map scale (like
   buildings), amalgamation...
   - Transformation of multipolygons (polygons with holes) into weakly
   simple polygons (certain platforms don't know how to render polygons with
   holes).
   - Algorithm-driven automated label and icon placement.
   - Other applications of geometric and graph algorithms on OSM data
   (Voronoi diagrams, traveling distances etc.) if they are driven by OSM data
   only.

Best regards,
Igor
