And that "Franchise" detail can be inferred from the URL alone: https://hdcontent.homedepot.com/StoreAssets/StoreMaps/0627.pdf http://stores.*lowes*.com/*lowes*/cgi/site?site=2851<http://taginfo.openstreetmap.us/tags/?key=url&value=http%3A%2F%2Fstores.lowes.com%2Flowes%2Fcgi%2Fsite%3Fsite%3D2851> In one neat package you have a mechanism to both have richer data, and to flag obsolete data. One could leave all the heavy lifting to the URL: website=http://jobs.chipotle.com/search/00697 Or try and use ref: operator=Chipotle ref=697 With some external lookup for all the various data that can be inferred from a store identifier.
