For example, a common pattern is that `amenity=hospital`-tags are edited into `amenity=clinic`-tags. This has occurred for 3200 map elements over the history of the OSM. This is also reasonable as both tags are related to health care. A blog writeup with more background can be found [here](http://matiasdahl.iki.fi/2015/finding-related-amenity-tags-on-the-openstreetmap).\r\n\r\nA motivation for this is to better understand how different tags are related to each other. As an example, the [waste_basket.json](https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/blob/0543f684d2b431eb64f3918bad344f50d3c17733/data/presets/presets/amenity/waste_basket.json) file in the iD editor currently lists the synonyms `rubbish`, `litter`, `trash` and `garbage`. However, by querying for edit patterns **to** the `amenity=waste_basket`-tag one can find the following related amenity tags: `bin`, `waste_bin`, `trash_can`, `lit_bin`, `litter_bin`, `waste_backet` (typo), `waste_bucket`, `basket`, `garbage`, `trash`, `waste basket`, `trash_bin`, `waste`, `dog_bin`, `wastebasket`, `cestino` (Italian), `rubbish`, `trashbin` and `trashcan`. See: [matiasdahl.github.io/osm-tag-dynamics/index.html?amenity=waste_basket](http://matiasdahl.github.io/osm-tag-dynamics/index.html?amenity=waste_basket). \r\n\r\nI am not sure if one should include all of the above synonyms, typos, and related tags. For example, it might not make sense to include `litter_bin` if `litter` is already included. But, it might make sense to include `bin` and `basket`: the edit `amenity=bin` to `amenity=waste_basket` has occurred for 290 map elements. (This can be seen by hovering over the corresponding arrow in the previous link). In comparison, `rubbish → waste_basket` has occurred for 5 elements. \r\n\r\nI am unsure about the licensing issues if one would import this type of data into the iD editor (licensed under the ISC License). Even if `bin` and `basket` are only two synonyms, they were found by analysing a lot of OSM data (licensed under the ODbL). This might also depend on whether such imports are done as one-offs or systematically."}}
