Anyway, connection to wikipedia articles is only a small, secondary part of
my proposal. Links between tags themselves is something we have to document
somewhere. We have to have a place where a data consumer sees that
amenity=fastfood is a specific kind of a amenity=restaurant.
...but it isn't! It's a closely-related concept, but to me the concept
"fast food place" is not a subcategory of "restaurant".
This illustrates, to me, that an attempt to add an ontology on top of
the tagging is likely to be vulnerable to the problems it aims to
solve.
Well, some people are going to agree that a particular set of tags are
subcategories, and some aren't. Having previously worked for ten years
for a food broker, which dealt with both grocery-store and food-service
clients, I can tell you that the division between "fast food" and "slow
food" isn't as sharp as you might think. Many establishments prepare
some items from scratch, and others from a semi-prepared state. So, I
would class fast-food establishments as a type of restaurant.
