Comparison + readability of OSM iD presets

Improve iD presets readability and compare with other presets

OpenStreetMap's iD tagging schema is a machine-readable description of key-value parts describing OSM objects. A comprehensive tagging schema allows normal people to contribute to OpenStreetMap and enables translation of descriptions. But there are known deficiencies to the tagging schema. This project will create a human-readable view of presets in one place, with context based on OSM Wiki and Data Items, taginfo statistics and other sources of documentation. It will also implement unified comparison of iD presets with Vespucci presets, JOSM presets and taginfo statistics to find discrepancies, mismatches and missing support.
