Re: [Talk-GB] Name Suggestion Index

Could make them all fast food outlets? Bakewell tarts, Melton Mowbray pies, 
Cornish Pasties, and my favourite Cartmel sticky toffee puddings……

Chocolate might just be a cuisine?

 

Or is that just stirring the pot J

I wish there was a general rule which could be easily formulated: certainly it 
would be useful to make some useful rules-of-thumb more explicit. Below is a 
crude attempt at some considerations.

 

Broadly speaking the shop=confectionery, confectionery=chocolate is probably 
what works best. The issue is not specifically chocolate but, as DaveF pointed 
out earlier in the thread, all the other specialist sweet/cake shops selling 
local specialties such as fudge or toffee (or perhaps even Bakewell Puddings). 
There are probably lots of these special cases which is usually a good sign to 
stick with the more general tag. The other issue is that a tag has to work 
across the globe & the presence of significant numbers of South Asian sweet 
outlets in Britain also suggests sticking with the more general tag. 

 

Also confectionery is more widely used & has a much longer usage. So both sets 
of tags need to be looked at anyway if one is looking for chocolate shops. 

 

Lastly using a subtag (confectionery) always means one is adding information 
and not changing the meaning of an existing tag. shop=chocolate implies that 
shop=confectionery is a shop which sells sweet things except chocolate.

 

The archetypal shop tag where a more general value is better than a specific 
one is shop=beauty. Some will be pure nail bars, but many offer a bewildering 
array of treatments. The general tag allows one not to have to worry about all 
this detail unless one is specifically interested. 

 

For really posh chocolate shops (not Hotel Chocolat or Thorntons) one could add 
craft=chocolatier (but be careful, many years ago I remember being disappointed 
to discover that the Belgiian chocolate firm Godiva was owned by Campbells 
Soup).

Personally I'd prefer retaining confectionery & perhaps using some kind of
sub-tag for the chocolate bit: although chocolate only/dominated shops are
much commoner than some other kinds of sweet shop.

There's a trade-off between overly general & overly specific tags which is
sometimes difficult to judge. OSM-Nottingham

lumps cake & sweet shops together (many have a café too). A quick look
through shows that 'indian' (South Asian) sweet shops is a pretty common
sub-category, and there are a still a few pick-and-mix places too. This
suggests sub-tagging would be useful in other situations
(chocolate/pick_and_mix/south_asian/etc), see taginfo
 for current values.
There's always been some overlap between cake shops & bakeries (Birds the
Confectioners being a classic East Midlands example), but shop=patisserie,
shop=cake & shop=sweet have never had much traction. There seems no good
reason to separate out chocolate shops from other types which have equally
valid reasons to be distinguished, and doing so may encourage a fissiparous
tagging tendency. Note that there will tend to be regional & cultural
differences in styles of confectionery & the shops (I've always been a bit
puzzled how to tag the little places with "Regalos Dulces" above the door
in Spain), and in an ideal world we keep tags which work best across
cultures.

Exactamundo! So, how do we decide? It would be overkill to come back to the
list for every single case, but equally, this is a change that affects
current and future features.or am I the only one who is bothered by
this?

Re: [Talk-GB] Name Suggestion Index

[Paul Berry]

Continuing with the Hotel Chocolat example, it could well be the case that
most are tagged with shop=confectionery because that was the nearest-fit
tag that was suggested when each was initially mapped. If the more precise
tag of shop=chocolate is now available we should make adjustments so that
iD suggests this as an "upgrade" the next time someone is making an edit in
or around one of them. Some of their shops offer a cafe/restaurant service
as well, which should be suggested as a second tier of tags.

Re: [Talk-GB] Name Suggestion Index

AFAIK 'The Range' has not got an entry. You can enter it in the Tag Text
field with/without 'gb' in the Country Code on https://nsi.guide

To me, the big question is: how do we adequately consult the community so
that we feel that the GB entries are appropriate?

Depending on github/dev abilities individuals can either create their own
fork/pull request. We also have an OSMUK fork that group work could be done
on. Or evidence could be added to
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Retail_chains_in_the_United_Kingdom and
Talk-GB can be consulted...a number of things are possible. But ultimately,
I would like "the community" to feel that the changes are ours.

There are a number of minor decisions involved, e.g. is Hotel Chocolat
a shop=confectionery or the newer shop=chocolate. Overpass Turbo says 50
the former, 13 the latter. Retail_chains_in_the_United_Kingdom
says shop=confectionery so that is what the NSI says.

Re: [Talk-GB] Name Suggestion Index

[Rob Nickerson]

Hi Robert,

I'm happy to help with these. For each store can you please provide:

   1. Main name (e.g. Greggs)
   2. Any alternate name that should be matched on when contributors type
   in the search box in iD (e.g. Gregg's)
   3. The main tag (e.g. shop=bakery)
   4. Any alternate tags you want to match on (e.g. amenity=cafe)
   5. Any tags that should always be present. Common examples are:
  1. brand=*
  2. brand:wikidata=*
  3. brand:wikipedia=*
  4. cuisine=* (in the case of restaurants)

It may be easier to create a spreadsheet with all the info in. We can then
get this in to the name suggestion index. Happy to help here but for those
interested see
https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md
. It is possible to edit the relevant brand files [1] via the github.com
web interface. Open the relevant brand (.json) file and then click the
pencil icon in the top right corner. This forks the repo and lets you edit
the file. Make your changes and then raise a Pull Request.

Curious as to what is selected for branches of The Range. That was recently 
highlighted as being tricky to categorise.

I stumbled across the NSI myself a couple of months ago, while looking
to add brand tags to shops in my local area though iD. I've been
collecting a list of missing UK brands (or at least ones that iD
didn't suggest) and also some potential errors (e.g. where it's
assumed all shops of a certain brand have a specific shop tag, when in
reality there can be some variation in the types of outlets). What I
haven't looked into yet is the mechanics of how to suggest
adding/correcting entries and what other info is needed for each one.
(Submitting github issues and pull requests for each individual brand
seems like a lot of effort on the face of it -- but maybe that's what
you need to do.)

In case anyone is interested in adding these, or providing details of
how to do it, here's the list of missing brands that I've collected so
far (some may have been added since I started collecting):

  Animal (Clothes)
  Barnado's (charity)
  Bill's (retaurant)
  Bon Marché (clothes)
  Byron (restaurant/burgers)
  Café Rouge (restaurant)
  Card Factory (cards)
  Fred Olsen Travel (travel_agent)
  Hughes (electrical goods)
  Johnsons (dry_cleaning)
  Jones the Bootmaker (shoes)
  Mr. Shoes (shoes)
  Muffin Break (Cafe)
  Scrivens (optician)
  Timpson (key-cutting / shoe_repair)
  The Perfume Shop (perfumery)
  Topman / Topshop (clothes)
  TUI (travel_agency)
  William H Brown (estate_agent)
  YMCA (charity shop)
  Yours (clothes)

And here are the one I think there are problems with:

  Greggs (allow amenity=cafe or shop=bakery or both)
  Clintons (should recognise shop=cards as well as shop=gift when
suggesting 'upgrades' in iD)

Best wishes,

Robert.
