There is already an existing international aerodrome mapping standard and published schema which defines all features, their attributes, the hierarchical relations between them, topologies ( for taxing routing ), and their data type ( point, line, area, etc. ). This is also used in almost all the current aviation simulation software. The Aerodrome Mapping Database (AMDB) at https://www.eurocontrol.int/articles/aerodrome-mapping-database-amdb based on "RTCA DO-272 User Requirements for Aerodrome Mapping Information", explanation at "Survey and Data Standards for Submission of Aeronautical Data Using Airports GIS" ( https://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Advisory_Circular/150-5300-18C.pdf ). The standard document itself is pricey, but their are several free XML versions with viewers out there ( http://amxm.aero/ ). Going forward, at least in the United States, the FAA has released some and in the future many more datasets of airports under the Airports GIS and Electronic Airport Layout Plan (eALP) https://www.faa.gov/airports/planning_capacity/airports_gis_electronic_alp/ From https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/runway_holding_position " Testing these turn-by-turn systems, however, requires detailed airport information, and must include runway holding position markings. In a simulation environment, OSM would provide an excellent data source." - it would be 'excellent' only if it conformed to the real and virtual data models already in the world. Michael Patrick
