This will never happen as long as the tags are so subjective. Check out the thread on the definitions of cafe/restaurant/fast_food for a wonderful case of what happens if the input side rules the project. You have heard of ROM? Ever heard of WOM? A large part of the IT budget of large companies is spent on "understanding" the data they already have. Missing or incorrect documentation, misuse of fields (overloading), no data quality control... I spend my life trying to save them money. Unfortunately every day they are still creating more of tomorrow's "legacy." > > Unless someone wants to declare OSM to be a "big data" project (store everything you have, just in case it's useful later) and get IBM Watson to find your nearest place to buy a burger. > > Colin
I think we don't need IBM Watson, we just need a database of semantically organised tags. A database which has categories like "a place where you can buy food for money" which has restaurants, fast foods and convenience stores in it. Geography has to plays a role in it. Maybe in Japan a convenience store doesn't have food in it. Then a data consumer tells its renderer "render this category with a big fork and knife" and that's all there is to it.
