+ title: About taginfo
+ text: |
+ <p>OpenStreetMap uses <b>tags</b> to add meaning to geographic objects. There
+ is no fixed list of those tags. New tags can be invented and used as needed.
+ Everybody can come up with a new tag and add it to new or existing objects.
+ This makes OpenStreetMap enormously flexible, but sometimes also a bit hard
+ to work with.</p>
+ <p>Whether you are contributing to OSM or using the OSM data, there are always
+ questions like: What tags do people use for feature X? What tags can I use
+ for feature Y so that it appears properly on the map? Is the tag Z described
+ on the wiki actually in use and where?</p>
+ <p>Taginfo helps you by showing statistics about which tags are actually in the
+ database, how many people use those tags, where they are used and so on. It
+ also gets information about tags from the wiki and from other places. Taginfo
+ tries to bring together all information about tags to help you understand
+ how they are used and what they mean. See a <a href="/sources">list of sources</a>
+ taginfo uses.</p>

+ The servers running the taginfo API do not have unlimited resources.
+ Please use the API responsibly. If in doubt contact the maintainers of the
+ site you are using or talk to us on the mailing list.</p>
+ <h3>Download</h3>
+ <p>If you want to play around with the data used by taginfo, you can download the
+ regularly updated Sqlite database files. All the preprocessing is done for you.
+ See the <a href="/download">download page</a> for a list of files. Note that
+ some of these files can get quite large. If you want to download them regularly,
