The policy of using tags in OSM is that everybody can use all the tags he
can imagine. So there are no restrictions.
The only thing is that you'd like to see your tags rendered on some map
sometimes. So it is smart to use tags others can understand.
Voila, there is a world wide library that is very handy to overcome those
lingual misunderstandings.
WIKI.OPENSTREETMAP.ORG
I just have upgraded our feature page
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/NL:Kaarteigenschappen) and translated
the most important common tags to dutch concepts.
There is / should be a map feature for your country. If there's not? There
is a nice job for you to do. And I can say that it's THE way to learn most
of the tags. ;)

This sounds like it might be similar to the "minicab" in the UK. They are
licensed differently from taxis and are only permitted to operate on a
"pre-booked" basis, i.e. you can't just stop one on the street but you
have
to phone or go to the office to make a "reservation". They are not allowed
to approach you, you have to approach them. Sometimes they are referred to
as "private hire" vehicles (although always with driver).
Tagwatch seems to know about one single example of amenity=Minicab Office
in
the UK and I can't find anything else which covers it.
If you think the concepts are similar enough, and sticking to the
UK-centric
terminology tradition, "amenity=minicab_office" might be a good candidate.

Hi,
I started to contribute to OSM a few weeks a ago. I have question. In
Argentina we have an special car service (I think this exists in other
countries, but I'm not sure) called "remis" o "remisse". It's similar
to taxis but the cars (with drivers) wait always in the agency o remis
stop (You can't take them on any place like the Taxis).
I haven't found a tag that matches with this. Should I create a new
tag?. Or there is already a tag that I can use.
Regards,
Diego

Yes, exactly. It's the same thing. Anyway, the minicab_office is a UK
definition. Nobody will understand that here.
Sorry, I'm doing my first contributions to OSM. What's the policy
about creating localized tags? Every country has some particular
things. Remis, offices of the govertment that are important here, etc.
Regards,
Diego
