Distributed Files

File List

The files under dist/* are generated:

• nsi.json - The complete index
• dissolved.json - List of items that we believe may be dissolved based on Wikidata claims
• featureCollection.json - A GeoJSON FeatureCollection containing all the custom features (geofences)
• taginfo.json - List of all tags this project supports (see: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/)
• wikidata.json - Cached data retrieved from Wikidata (names, social accounts, logos)
• filtered/* - Subset of name tags that we are keeping or discarding
• presets/* - Preset files generated for iD and JOSM editors

These files from the config/ folder are also copied over to the dist/ folder:

• genericWords.json - Regular expressions to match generic names (e.g. "store", "noname")
• matchGroups.json - Groups of OpenStreetMap tags that are considered equivalent for purposes of matching
• replacements.json - Mapping of old Wikidata QIDs to replacement new Wikidata/Wikipedia values
• trees.json - Metadata about subtrees supported in this project

Each file is available in both regular .json or minified .min.json format.
