OSMLR is an open standard. There are no royalties, restrictions or other requirements for implementing it.

The OSMLR specification is developed in the GitHub repository by creating and discussing issues and pull requests.

Making changes

Changes can be proposed either by filing a new issue or by making a pull request. The choice of which method is appropriate should be governed by the magnitude of the proposed change in terms of the semantic version. For example:

  • Small changes, which are compatible with previous releases and would require a new PATCH level release, may be submitted as pull requests. This might include fixes to spelling or grammar, clarifications to the documentation or comments, or additional detail or examples.
  • Larger changes should be proposed as an issue first, as these may require careful review and will require a MINOR or MAJOR level release. In general, proposed changes should avoid requiring a new MAJOR release unless absolutely necessary to define any new functionality.

Please be considerate and read through prior and existing issues and pull requests before creating a new one.

Releasing new versions

New versions of the specification will be released by creating a tag with the name vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. This version is guaranteed not to change, and is suitable for inclusion into downstream projects as a submodule. Any changes to the specification will be assigned at least a new PATCH level version.
