Splitting Earth's oceanic waters into oceans is subjective, mapping one selected division or all of them is not useful in OpenStreetMap
For identifying and locating the world's five main major oceanic divisions, see Ocean:
- Arctic Ocean
- Atlantic Ocean
- Indian Ocean
- Pacific Ocean
- Southern Ocean
Note that seas (parts of oceans) are mapped separately, see place=sea.
How to Map
Add place=ocean and name:code=* (where code is ISO 639 code of the language) to the appropriate node. Because oceans belong to all nations, they don't have one main name, so leave the tag name=* empty.
Example
place=ocean
name:en=Atlantic Ocean
name:eo=Atlantiko
name:fr=Océan Atlantique
name:jp=大西洋
name:pt=Ilhas do Oceano Atlântico
name:es=Océano Atlántico
