OpenStreetMap does not currently support “layers” in the database. Therefore, there are two options:
- you can add data to the main OSM database. A requirement for this is, of course, that your data is of interest to people outside your project, otherwise some people here at OSM won’t be happy about it. You also need to be aware that there is no way to protect data from being copied, modified or deleted once it has been added to OSM.
- you can use OSM tools (editors, renderers etc.), but create a separate database for your project data on your own hardware. (You could import OSM data into it if you need to do so.) I’m not sure how much effort it would be to set this up – that will also depend on what requirements you have, how much data it is, how often updates take place --, but it’s probably possible.
