[Tagging] Offices/non-shop businesses
Does anyone have any suggestions for tagging business that are not shops? I took a look in the wiki and the mailing lists but couldn't see anything (which is a bit strange, I would have expected someone to have asked before - maybe I looked for the wrong thing!). I also took a quick look at the map/database in my local area but couldn't see any such businesses tagged at all, so I couldn't learn from example either. I'm thinking of business that have offices/buildings, but they are not shops open to the general public, so shop=... doesn't seem natural. e.g. A software development company A company that provides office cleaning services A call-centre A company that designs widgets They have offices, but they are not shops because they don't open/ sell to the general public walking off the street. The appropriate land-use tag is commercial (defined as Predominantly offices, business parks, etc.), so maybe such things should be tagged commercial=software_development, commercial=call_centre etc plus company name in the name tag? Is anyone tagging such things and if so is there some kind of consensus on how to tag them?

Not bad, but commercial is an adjective, not a noun. Perhaps office=commercial + commercial=* would be better? I dunno, surely there's been better thought out proposals on this before? I couldn't find any either... ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

Not bad, but commercial is an adjective, not a noun. you could use commerce instead? still: Perhaps office=commercial + commercial=* would be better? +1, I like this because it also allows for office=non-commercial Keep it simple: office=call_centre Regards, ULFL ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
