That's for the renderer to sort out... We just need to make sure that the
data makes/enables the distinctions that we do as humans. The renderer can
always map multiple tags onto the same icon if it wants to. I think I would
call this Garden Tools. If it wasn't for the use of the word "lightweight"
even Agricultural Equipment might be appropriate but that would likely
include "big boys toys" like combine harvesters as well. Tag it lke it is.
Where would one look in the "yellow pages" (business telephone directory
organised by category)?
In mine, it's under "Chainsaws and Brushcutters" and "Lawnmower Sales
and repairs", with many stores listed in both. A few also listed under
"Engine repairs". I can't think of any of them that would sell hand
equipment (Shovels, axes etc) as well, though, we'd go to a totally
different store for that. A garden centre or hardware store might sell
plants, hand tools and maybe even a small selection of power
equipment, but they wouldn't repair it.
Note that I said "where would one look" not "where would one find
it".... The enormous gap between these two is the main reason I never
use it. I would't wish anyone to be forced to copy their (sometimes
almost random) taxonomy, but I was trying to suggest an approach rather
than a ready-made solution.
A business can of course be listed under multiple categories as well..
