I think that the point has just been reinforced that debates over subtle ontologic questions, such as "is the building that the shop occupies a shop, or not?" are the usual outcome of this sort of discussion, A philosopher cares. A data consumer, particularly an automated one, likely does not. Any of the above taggings result in the conclusion: "Building here. Shop was once here, but no longer is." - thus satisfying those who are searching for a shop and don't want to find a closed one, those looking to navigate and being told to expect a disused shop on the street corner, and even those searching for disused commercial properties to redevelop. -- 73 de ke9tv/2, Kevin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
