Dear all, After the discussion that I started about the database schema I tried to create a wiki page that explains it, I started the page on my user wiki-page [1]. I started with few tables, but some elements present in the tables are not so clear to me.
So If you wanna try to contribute to that page, since a description of the database can be provided to everyone. I will continue to modify it ,trying to understand all the tables. Thanks to everyone that will help, or just make a suggestion about it.

There isn’t a dedicated area object, maybe this is what you meant. Areas are represented with ways, and tags or relations are required to define the ways as areas. That would mean, for instance, that a pedestrian zone, let’s say a big square in a city, cannot be made to be crossed diagonally when used in a route planner. Am I right? typically routing engines operate on graphs, i.e. they do not route diagonally across areas, but this isn’t related to the question whether there is a dedicated datatype for areas or not.
