Tools
These are tools specific for the Denmark, as they use Danish government data. They can be used to find problems in the Danish map.
+ http://osm.elgaard.net/ Live update with all kinds of missing data. Check your own neighbourhood!
+ https://digitalfrihed.dk/restaurants/all.html Uses info from health inspection to maintain a list of restaurants.
Country specific tags
The Danish government has a open data policy, which allows us to import government data into OSM. To keep track, country-specific tags can be added.
Tags (starting with) osak, AWS, are about the Danish address register. See https://danmarksadresser.dk/
Tags starting with BBR are about the Danish building registry. See https://bbr.dk/forside
Tags (starting with) CVR are about the Danish register of companies (CVR number= VAT number). See https://datacvr.virk.dk/data/
Tags containing FVST are about the "Fødevarestyrelse", the food- and health inspection.
As of now (2021), all data is accessible in API form from https://datafordeler.dk/
