Open vector tile schema for OpenStreetMap layers
The vector tile schema describes how the vector data is organized into different thematic layers and which attribute and values each layer contains. This is useful for writing a map style and allows for alternative implementations of a schema.
The OpenMapTiles schema is open (CC-BY) and you are free to use, extend or build upon the existing implementation (BSD license). Attribution is required. Please properly reference OpenMapTiles if you build upon the schema.
The vector tile schema has been developed by Klokan Technologies GmbH and was initially modelled after the cartography of the Carto Basemap Positron. The vector tile schema has been refined and improved in cooperation with the Wikimedia Foundation and is heavily influenced by the many years Paul Norman’s experience of creating maps from OpenStreetMap.
