Key:addr:conscriptionnumber - OpenStreetMap Wiki

Lovely example of a conscription number, the red plate, there. Short of an Enhlish Wikipedia article a good starting point is wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:add....

I guess I think about alt text quite a bit because it's part of my day job. I notice it's become a point of tension on Bluesky and hardly a day goes by now when I don't see someone complaining that they've been told off for not including it, or for doing it wrong. I'd say... ๐Ÿงต
