Is there a reason ref isn't appropriate? I've used ref for store numbers; would this be used when there's both a number and a name? Well, the 7-Eleven branches here have store numbers which are often found on a sticker near the door. This would be an exact fit for the ref=* tag. But each store has a branch name apart from the store number, and these names are what I would put in the branch=* tag. ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

Re: [Tagging] branch=* tag to specify the particular branch of a chain of stores/amenities
According to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:brand The brand=* is a larger entity that a place advertises itself as part of Which means that you put Burger King or Barclay's or McDonald's into the brand tag. We put into the branch tag the branch name. Look at this webpage listing the branches of Bank of the Philippine Islands in my city: http://info.bpiexpressonline.com/bpiprod/bpibranch.nsf/Branches/BPI/Las+Pi%C3%B1as?OpenDocument The branch names are those names in bold like Almanza, Almanza Uno Las Piñas, and SM Southmall Express Center. These branch names are prominently displayed in the signboard of the bank outlet. So we put Bank of the Philippine Islands into brand=* (or usually name=*) then Almanza into branch=*.

I thought in this case, we use operator=* ? From wiki.. The operator tag is used to name a company, corporation, person or any other entity who is in charge of the operation of a certain map object. I think the branch/location could simply be added to the name tag. amenity=bank operator=Bank of the Philippines name=Bank of the Philippines Almanza Uno Las Piñas This is for example how I tag chain restaurants, with the location/branch appended to the name tag.

We thought about it but putting the location/branch into the name tag makes it harder to collect all of the banks under the same brand. Take note that due to mergers and acquisitions, multiple banks may be under the same operator. In addition, putting the branch name into the name tag makes it longer and harder to render. I prefer putting that separable piece of information into a separate tag in the first place. ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
