Hi all, I think this is not the best example, as VW and BMW would rather be brand=*
I thought *:sales= to be used with yes/no/used, combined with type=* (variants of the item which is sold) and parts=yes/no (in some cases additionally "custom") The yes/no tags are easier to handle (for mappers) and also for tools, as they don't have to parse everything. The combination of yes/no values should give a picture of what is offered (exept of "type" and "brand"). Example: shop=motorcycle motorcycle:sales=used motorcycle:repair=yes motorcycle:parts=yes motorcycle:clothes=yes bicycle:sales=no bicycle:repair=yes Would be the typical "no brand" - garage which also repairs bicycles besides and sells certain accessories. If it would be specialised, you could add motorcycle:type=scooter (IMHO it would be microtagging to me more precise regarding the kind of parts and clothes, and it would give a mess of values). In case of a shop=garden_centre the (additonal) values might be robot:sales=yes robot:type=lawn_mower Cheers, Thilo Am 04.09.2017 um 09:38 schrieb Warin: > To put this out in the open - not to be confused with if it should be > done, > > but rather what is better. > > So a new subject to attract attention and keep it only on what is > better - 'Sale' or 'Sells'. > > > The suggestions are to use a sub tag under shops that detail what is > available for purchase, one side is for using 'sale' the other for > 'sells'. > > > I'll use an example of a car shop that has VW and BMW available.
