[Tagging] shop sub tag sell or sale

[Thilo Haug]

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
