I have an OpenStreetMap
I use OpenLayers
I would like to know if there is a way to get the land type (ex : water, plain, etc) of specific coordinates on the map.
I searched in the documentation but didn’t found anything.
Thanks.

You can use the Cloudmade API for Geocoding:
Cloudmade.com Geocoding API
You can give Coordinates and for example find roads around the given Coordinates:

You can return this information also in Json format
