classifications {osmclass}

A Classification of OSM Features by Economic Function

Description

This classification, developed for Krantz (2023), aims to classify OSM features into meaningful and specific economic categories such as 'education', 'health', 'tourism', 'financial', 'shopping', 'transport', 'communications', 'industrial', 'residential', 'road', 'railway', 'pipeline', 'power', 'waterway' etc. Separate classifications are developed for points and polygons (buildings) (33 categories), and lines (11 categories), which should be applied to the respective layers of OSM PBF files, see osmclass-package for and example. The classification is optimized (in terms of tag choice and order of categories) to assign the most sensible primary category to most features in the Africa OSM.

Usage

osm_point_polygon_class

osm_line_class

osm_line_info_tags

Format

An object of class list of length 33.
