Very impressive answer. In the wiki there is only marketplace. Perhaps
anyone (with english as native language) could update it? I edit
Marketplace wiki page suggesting other tags
[http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dmarketplace]. For the
other hand, in wiki, market redirects to marketplace. Without reading
your explanation this could go to misinterpretation.
For the other hand, I want to know how to tag the "opening_hours" of the
market.
I have the situation in which in the same area, we have marketplace and
a market. A marketplace is in the building and market in the area near
it. market only is in Saturdays and Mondays.
Do I have to mark as amenity=market;marketplace, opening_hours=....?
Really it'ds not true. One place could be open everyday but being _only_
a market. And in concrete times it become a marketplace. So
opening_hours could go to a confusion.
Is there any way for doing thaT?
Thanks,
Xan.
