Software can't.

The dirty little secret of OSM tagging is that a huge fraction of the tags
have insufficient semantic clarity or consistency to be
processed or rendered.

If it's unclear on the wiki, and not simple enough that people get it right
80% of the time, it won't ever be machine processed.
