Tag Central could greatly improve many things but having had some
discussions on the topic on IRC I see it's a very delicate topic. On top
of that there is the redaction process going on.
For now I have started some work in different area just to familiarize
myself with the code but this "server-side validation" or Tag Central
stuff - that's definitely something I would be interested in. When I am
done with some of the UI work, I would love to get back to it, resume
the discussion, maybe work on a prototype.
I would gladly help you with this tool. I'm also interested in the topic
and maybe we could work together.
But this week is a busy one and so I maybe read and write more after
this week.
(If the three object structure is felt to be reasonable) the API is
generic, with tags and values like the nodes, ways and relations, so the
actual content doesn't prohibit creating the framework for it.
But beyond that I think the most important thing is to write a more
detailed spec of the tags and their values. One thing I didn't cover but
had thought about a bit was how one would say "this thing can be treated
as this other thing for rendering purposes if you don't understand it
directly" - e.g. generic sports icon if you don't have one for a
specific sport, or village in place of barangay.
Had I been able to proceed, my first goal would have been to add enough
content to be able to reproduce the Map Features page. Then a second
step would be to add schema editing capability and cross checking to
JOSM. A third step would be to show how we might have a data driven
rendering (I know Potlatch 2 has a similar kind of thing, where the
schema is built in to Potlatch rather than being generic).
