[Tagging] "service" tags in general (for shops)

To Thilo's questions:

1) amenity=printer is for an establishment that offers printing services.
It is not a shop that sells printers.

2) service=computer is a tag on an establishment that lets you use its
computer(s) while you are there, possibly for a fee. Similarly for
service=phone. It is not for shops that sell computers (or phones).

I came across shops that sell printer ink on taginfo [1] and saw they
were split in three.

shop=ink (42)

shop=ink_cartridge (13)

shop=printer_ink (12)

I created this wikipage [2] for shop=printer_ink and was wondering what
the list thinks.

shop=printer_ink sounds the clearest in meaning of the three and the
other values should be converted to this.

IMHO there are no shops selling BUT printer ink, so a subtag might be more
useful :

printer:ink=sales
printer:ink=refill
printer:repair=yes
printer:sales=yes

and so on...

Not sure what the "but" means in your sentence. If you doubt that there are
shops being specialized
in selling nothing but ink, I know some.

The "and so on" indicates the problem. I am against turning OSM into a shop
inventory or an ontology
of all products on the planet. I agree with Frederik below and his
shop=printer_ink favourite.

I can back Tom up here - I know of one business in our area (& there are
*many* others) who's warehouse is full of nothing but printer cartridges -
they don't sell or repair printers & I don't think they even refill
cartridges, they just sell them!

+1 to Fredrick's  shop=printer_ink

In fact, you're still making an inventory in shop=*
so the question is not if we need to do it but how.

Listing all possible values in shop=* means that each tool
must provide a sorting by category if it wants to organize
the data and make life harder for the majority of shop that
have more than one product..
a schema like shop=first_level + first_level=second_level etc.,
avoiding the need for each application to do so.

Regards,
Marc

I didn't get the point of this comment,
do you got an example ?

Regarding
"I am against turning OSM into a shop inventory or an ontology of all
products on the planet. I agree with Frederik below and his
shop=printer_ink favourite." :

I didn't want to propose to list all products (or even variants of them)
of a shop=supermarket, shop=doityourself or shop=electronics,
just to give a possibility to mention another "main shop" is also
providing this "service" (or product) of a "specialised" one
(In OSM usually done by a namespace, example : social_facility).
I think the number of shops that are specialised in only one
product/service is much lower than that of shops providing several.
Example : shop=seafood (may be sold by a variety of other shops).

So IMHO the goal of this discussion is to find those attributes (or
services) which apply to several shops and are of general interest.

In the "seafood" example it's the question whether this needs to be
split up in types of seafood or not, but time will show if people feel
the need.
But this might be solved by simply offering seafood:type=* (not to make
a subtag for every type).
In non-food cases, there will mainly be the offer of selling, renting,
repairing and (spare) parts,
so this could be used for a "general" scheme.

In the printer example, it is obvious that there might be more than ink
which could be interesting,
there's even the tag amenity=printer (doesn't make sense to me).

Hello all,

instead of debating every single shop (details),
I'm in favor of using a name scheme which applies to all (kind "grammar"
for it).

In the context of the printer_ink shop discussion I stumbled on the
"service" tags of
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dcopyshop

IMHO service:computer=yes/no or service:phone=yes/no
doesn't make sense at all, as nobody knows WHICH "service" is meant.
It would be better to take the "main" tag (of shop=*) as the leading item,
such as
computer:sales=yes/no
computer:parts=yes/no
computer:repair=yes/no
computer:rental=yes/no
computer:[whateverrismeantby"service"]=yes/no

...and to use this scheme for all shop services.

Cheers,
Thilo
