Community

Classify Open Street Map (OSM) features into meaningful functional or analytical categories. Designed for OSM PBF files, e.g. from <https://download.geofabrik.de/> imported as spatial data frames. A classification consists of a list of categories that are related to certain OSM tags and values. Given a layer from an OSM PBF file and a classification, the main osm_classify() function returns a classification data table giving, for each feature, the primary and alternative categories (if there is overlap) assigned, and the tag(s) and value(s) matched on. The package also contains a classification of OSM features by economic function/significance, following Krantz (2023) <https://www.ssrn.com/abstract=4537867>.
