License information for each icon can be found in the <u>[[Icons|grid with all icons]]</u>.\n\nTo each icon I assigned a randomly selected unique 5-digit icon number which can be found on the left side of the icon file name.\n\n==Recommended keys and presets for each map feature==\nAfter creating a set of more than 1,000 icons in total I added to each map feature, represented by an icon, recommended key-value pairs and presets for some values. These key-value pairs were stored in the file name of the icon for as easy as possible handling.<br>\nThe information regarding the key-value pairs was mainly retrieved from OSM wiki information, JOSM presets, TAGINFO findings and some other OSM related sources.\n\nWhile compiling the relevant keys and values for each icon I found, that some information is needed repeatedly for multiple icons.<br>\nIn this case I created txt files containing commonly used key-value pairs with file names in square brackets. These files can be found <u>[[Media:OSM-icons.zip|here]]</u> in folder _common.<br>\nThese txt files were then referenced in the icon file names suitable for usage of these common key-value pairs.\n\n==Feature groups==\nIt might be pretty time consuming to find the correct icon out of > 1,000 icons while mapping a certain map feature.<br>\nTherefore I introduced so called <u>[[Feature_groups|\"feature groups\"]]</u>. Feature groups are collections of icons / map features with a similar topic.\n\nExample: woman\u2019s fav places<br>\nThis feature group combines all icons / map features that might represent a POI which is particularly interesting for women: a shop with handbags, a baby hatch, a cafe etc.\n\nI created a set of feature groups and assigned icons to them. The feature groups assigned to each icon are mentioned in the respective file name.\n\n==Request for cross check by the OSM community==\nSome days ago I completed the task of compiling key-value pairs and feature groups for each map feature after some initial very valuable feedback from the Italian OSM community, so it is now the right time to ask interested OSM community members to cross check the work done for an optimal icon set / tag assignment as follows:\n\n# check if important icons are missing\n# check if some icons should have different graphics\n# check if the selected key-value pairs are optimal \n# check if the feature group assignment is optimal\n# other comments \n\nThe benefit of the OSM community of this work will be, that it becomes much easier for developers of OSM editors providing support for all map features widely used by the OSM community. This means, that these developers can then focus on implementing their software instead of hazzling around with icons.\n\nIn case you have suggestions for improving the icons, assigned key-value pairs, presets of values or feature groups, please send an email to <u>[https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Markus59 Markus]</u>.<br>\nPlease don\u00b4t forget to mention the icon number which is the only unique reference available for each icon.\n\nThe .zip file with all 1,000 icons as well as the .txt files with the commonly used key-value pairs can be found <u>[[Media:OSM-icons.zip|here]]</u>.<br>\nPlease unzip the zip file in the root directory of your hard drive. Otherwise unzipping might fail because of the length of some of the file names.\n |}"
