[OSM-talk] OSM tagging validation lib

[François Lacombe]

Thanks for answers :)

I said a lib, but indeed the diversity of projects would be too problematic
for implementation and rollouts.
JSON, xml, text are fine

As Simon said, taginfo is a great tool to extract data from wiki.
Even if it's not perfect, the wiki is the only reference I know and where
data consumers go to get information. Then it's relevent to improve it
It would be hard to put all practicies and rules in wiki keys scorecard
templates (from where taginfo get most of its input). Should we complete it
in taginfo itself ?

All the best

François
