which part of "cigarettes, newspapers, sweets, snacks and beverages" is obligatory, which isn't? What if they sell only newspapers and tickets for the public transport? I guess it's a newsagent then? What do they have to add to their offer in order to become an OSM kiosk? Around here there are lots of kiosks (the building type) that only sell flowers, or books, or newspapers, or food. These are all _OR_s. They do IMHO qualify to be called kiosk in natural language. There is almost none of them that sells cigarettes though (local cultural habits). To the typology: kiosks are traditionally freestanding small solitaires, but in some regions the meaning of kiosk evolved and now is applicable also to shops selling through a hole in the wall (the examples given above by Peter). Still this doesn't mean that any shop selling cigarettes and newspapers will qualify for kiosk: this is still about typology (and in this I disagree with Ulf's definition that kiosk has nothing to do with typology: it is a word for 2 similar kinds of typology (or better one which is selling through a window which is common to both subtypes). cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
