I had not come across this sort of classification before. I see that there are "SIC" codes in the UK. They don't seem to cater for shops selling to both the trade and ordinary customers, but maybe I have not looked carefully. I would think that these sort of specialist tags might be useful in addition to more user-friendly tags like those at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dtrade . Perhaps something along the lines of the fhrs:id tag used in the UK for food hygience: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/UK_Food_Hygiene_Rating_Scheme? Maybe naics:id = in USA, sic:id in UK, and so on? So they could be useful in addition to the trade=whatever when appropriate. ael _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
