At the top level it's both an office and a shop. The office is a wedding planner office. The shop is both a boutique and a clothes shop. The boutique is a wedding boutique. The clothes include both wedding dresses and ceremonial clothes. Noting the general consensus that a multi-valued key a=b;c should be avoided and rewritten as a:b=yes a:c=yes I therefore propose: office=wedding_planner shop:boutique=yes boutique=wedding shop:clothes=yes clothes:wedding_dresses=yes clothes:ceremonial=yes This is equivalent mathematically to an expression like office (wedding planner) + shop (boutique (wedding) + clothes (wedding dresses + ceremonial)) PS: if you remember that ceremonial clothes includes wedding dresses, you can remove wedding dresses and simplify to: office=wedding_planner shop:boutique=yes boutique=wedding shop:clothes=yes clothes=ceremonial _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
