Welcome to OpenStreetMap, the project that creates and distributes free geographic data for the world. We started it because most maps you think of as free actually have legal or technical restrictions on their use, holding back people from using them in creative, productive, or unexpected ways.| wiki.openstreetmap.org

OpenStreetMap represents physical features on the ground (e.g., roads or buildings) using tags attached to its basic data structures (its nodes, ways, and relations). Each tag describes a geographic attribute of the feature being shown by that specific node, way or relation. | wiki.openstreetmap.org

Planet.osm is the OpenStreetMap data in one file: all the nodes, ways and relations that make up our map. A new version is released every week. It's a big file (on 2024-12-01, the plain OSM XML variant takes over 1994.0 GB when uncompressed from the 144.8 GB bzip2-compressed or 78.0 GB PBF-compressed downloaded data file). | wiki.openstreetmap.org
Elements are the basic components of OpenStreetMap's conceptual data model of the physical world. There are three types of elements: | wiki.openstreetmap.org
There are multiple cases where there is dispute over exact boundary. Sometimes it escalates into outright wars (in which case border mapping is typically suspended, OSM is not making daily updates to borders as armies move ) but there are many cases where conflict is frozen and stable.
