  • Hi @activistPnk, you have some good ideas and you can directly start contributing to it.

    The OpenStreetMap Database is a very flexible and open key-value store. Everybody can add any values to the Database even when they are not documented yet. This is how we came so far and successful with OpenStreetMap. This journey continues as long as enough people contributed their ideas to OpenStreetMap and try to find consens with the other mappers for common meanings.

    So for a lot of examples you mentioned there are already established keys:

    name=* brand=* operator=* network=* fee=* charge=* currency:EUR=yes/no currency:USD=yes/no currency:GPB=yes/no cash_out:notes:denominations=* cash_withdrawal:limit=* indoor=yes/no opening_hours=*

    For your other information you can just invent new tags and use them. Maybe then more people will jump on them. Best practice is, to regularly visit taginfo.openstreetmap.org for used keys and values. Also wiki.openstreetmap.org is useful to documente used values. And vote for things in Proposals, when different solutions are competing against each other.
