Indonesian Tagging Guidelines

From OpenStreetMap Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

OpenStreetMap is a digital map that displays various objects on earth. OpenStreetMap is Free and Opensource, hence OpenStreetMap enables its user to give any tag/information for the mapped objects. Therefore, to avoid wrong tagging and to avoid dissimilarity tag/information for the objects, OpenStreetMap has provided general references that can be used by users on the page Map Features in giving information for the mapped objects.

But, along with the increase of OpenStreetMap users around the world, the amount and the type of information submitted to OpenStreetMap has also increased. The page of Map Feature, which contains information for the objects in OpenStreetMap, does not seem to help users especially for specific objects which only exist in particular country including Indonesia. Frequently, users do not get information for the intended tag on Map Feature page or simply miss the objects because the name is different. Usually, the objects have their own local name such as posyandu, pesantren et cetera.

For those reasons, this page is intentionally made to provide attribute references for particular OpenStreetMap objects in Indonesia. On this page, the objects divided into several categories match with Indonesian Objects presets. Hopefully this page can help users and the OpenStreetMap community in Indonesia in mapping their region. Keep in mind, the object list on this page is not fully completed yet. Information showed below could change at any moment according to terms and conditions from OpenStreetMap.

For additional information, you can use Badan Informasi Geospasial (BIG) data (National Geospatial Information Agency for Indonesia) to complete name=* tags. For this, BIG has provide a valid and standardized name for some public facilities, government offices and many more in their SINAR Gazeter platform. BIG encourages OSM Community to adapt the standardized toponym into OSM.

POINT AND POLYGON (BUILDING) OBJECTS

Object list shown below contains the type of objects that can be drawn either as a point or a polygon (building). The object that can only be drawn as polygon (building) is denoted by the symbol area and the object that can only be drawn as point is denoted by the symbol node. The object that can be drawn either as polygon or point is denoted by both node and area. It is better to draw the object as a polygon if the building footprint of the object is clearly seen on the satellite imagery, but if it is not, draw the object as a point.

Places and Settlements

  • Hierarchically, administrative levels in Indonesia are divided into several parts, here are further explanations:
    • admin_level=4 - Province (Provinsi)
    • admin_level=5 - City / Regency (Kotamadya/Kabupaten)
    • admin_level=6 - District (Kecamatan)
    • admin_level=7 - Village (Kelurahan/Desa/Kampung)
    • admin_level=8 - Community Group (Rukun Warga/Dusun)
    • admin_level=9 - Neighborhood Unit (Rukun Tetangga)

Access and Barrier Tagging in Indonesia

The use of access and barriers are usually called portals, will affect road access. If a portal is permanently closed, it will make road access around it being closed. If we want to enter a residential complex area and there is a portal guarded by security officers or security guards, then this will result in road access being private. Below we have provided a flowchart if we want to edit the OSM map, especially if we are adding access or barrier on the road.

Additional Attribute Information about LINE OBJECT

If you draw an object as a line object, you should add some additional information regarding the list of information below:

No. Information Key Value Description
1. Road Direction oneway
  • yes (if the road is a one-way road)
  • no (if the road is a two-way road)
Road direction information. If the road is a one-way road, user can give additional tag oneway=yes. For further information, see this link.
2. Layer (Tingkatan) layer
  • -5 to 5
  • The value 0 is the initial value for line/road layer. It means that the line/road object is right on the ground level. If the value is greater than 0, that means the object is above ground level. If the value is smaller than 0, that means the object is below ground level.
Layer information for line/road object. If the road is right above the ground level road, user can give additional tag layer=1 for the mapped road. If the road is right below the ground level road, user can give additional tag layer=-1 for the mapped road. For further information, see this link.
3. Road Lane lanes User Defined: the value is defined by user based on the information of the mapped object. Lane information for road object. A road can have two or more lanes. Usually each lane separated by a dashed white line. For example, the mapped road is a three-lane road, user can give additional tag lanes=3 for that road. For further information, see this link.
4. Object Width width User Defined: the value is defined by user based on the information of the mapped object. Width information for line/road object. This additional tag can be given to a road object or to another line object. For example, the width of the mapped road is 10 meters, user can give additional tag width=10 for that road. For further information, see this link.
5. Line Surface surface
  • asphalt (asphalt-surfaced road)
  • concrete (concrete-surfaced road)
  • metal (metal-surfaced road, usually found on a bridge)
  • wood (wood surfaced road)
  • grass (grass-surfaced road)
  • ground (ground-surfaced road)
  • gravel (gravel-surfaced road)
  • mud (mud-surfaced road)
  • sand (sand-surfaced road)
Line surface information for the line/road object. For example, the mapped road has an asphalt surface, user can give additional tag surface=asphalt for that road. For further information, see this link.
6. Road Condition smoothness
  • excellent (the road condition is excellent and very smooth; there's no hole, usually found on a race track)
  • good (the road condition is good and smooth; usually found on a free way or motorway)
  • intermediate (the road condition is quite good, some small potholes here and there; usually found on main road)
  • bad (the road condition is bad; numerous potholes here and there, endangering the road user)
  • very bad (the road condition is very bad, jagged and harsh; the road surface is a mixture of soil and gravel)
  • horrible (the road condition is horrible, impassable by typical city car, passable by semi off-road car; the road surface is a mixture of sand and rubble stone)
  • very horrible (the road condition is very horrible, impassable by small vehicles and passable by heavy vehicles (tractor), ATV and off-road vehicles; the road surface is a mixture of mud, gravel, sand and rubble stone)
  • impassable (the road is impassable by any vehicles)
