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.
