Hi Nikhil, The Database design has been documented here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Database
This is, at its essence, a modified EAV Model( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entity–attribute–value_model). A good place to start researching for these kinds of database design, is to look at various documents on EAV, its shortcomings & Strengths. You should also evaluate if a NoSQL/Object Store database might be a better fit for your purpose, than designing an EAV Data model to be stored in a relational Database.
