[OSM-dev] RFC: OSM data format MIME types

[Paul Norman]

I'm planning on registering MIME types for OSM formats in the vendor 
tree and could use feedback. If you're unfamiliar with registering MIME 
types, https://github.com/mapbox/vector-tile-spec/issues/48 is a 
reasonable overview for a registration that took place with a different 
format.



The obvious type for OSM XML is application/vnd.osm+xml, but there are a 
few unanswered questions


- Is .osc a different type? I'm think yes. Tools that parse one don't 
normally accept the other in its place, they normally have different 
file suffixes, and the top-level XML elements are different.


- Is osc returned from the server a different type from what is 
uploaded? I'm inclined towards no. This is more a matter of selection of 
valid identifiers.


- Where does history fit in

I'm inclined towards

- application/vnd.osm+xml for OSM XML

- application/vnd.osm.osc+xml for OsmChange XML

- application/vnd.osm.osh+xml for historical XML

- application/vnd.osm.osmpbf for current data PBFs. pbf is not a MIME 
suffix.


- application/vnd.osm.oshpbf for historical PBFs.

- application/vnd.osm.o5m

- application/vnd.osm.o5c

I'm not sure where to slot changeset data into this. Changeset data can 
be present in an OSM XML file alongside other data (e.g. with planet 
dumps) or standalone.

Yes, I know. Which is why I clearly stated it.

This appears to contradict the other (incorrect) description.

I'll discuss further on Talk forum



+1, actually tagging would seem most suitable


cheers,
