It is not required, as far as I understand the documentation, to include both the parent key and any values (under it) of interest. Perhaps it may be practical to have the attributes of interest split in a separate column. The command I tested, for example, is: ``` ogr2ogr --config OSM_CONFIG_FILE custom.ini -f SQLite -dsco SPATIALITE=YES -gt 65536 -progress output.sqlite source.osm ``` While this is sufficient for the work I am doing (I can filter `cave_entrance`s out from the `natural` column in the `output.sqlite` file), I wonder why the entries for some nodes correctly bear the string `cave_entrance` in the `natural` column, yet the `cave_entrance` column itself is empty for the same entries.The attributes keyword in osmconf.ini will select OSM tags whose *key* is one of the item specified in attributes. If you want to filter by value, you may add a -where or -sql clause with something like "natural = 'cave_entrance'"
Apologies for yet another message on this. OSM needs its time to understand. What is somewhat confusing is the fact that some values, e.g. 'drinking_water' for keys, i.e. 'natural', are also keys themselves. Anothr example is 'parking'. It can be the value in the 'amenity=parking' tag or itself, being a key, "contains" (sub-)values such as 'surface', 'multi-storey' and more. It really takes to go through each and every key in OSM and see what is of interest. Nikos
