I don't. I don't want to revisit each place each week to see whether the menu has changed. > > It makes much more sense than either of the other suggestions, i.e.: > 1) inventing complex explicit definitions of what a "cafe" is, > internationally or > 2) assuming complex (implicit) definitions of what a "cafe" is, and > having this differ from place to place Well, that's the way it is. The definitions have to be general enough so that they can be finetuned to match local circumstances. It would be foolish to assume that a café in Hongkong looks exactly the same as in Vienna. Also, if you only tag the menu instead of categorizing the place you only put the burden on the consumer of the data. Otherwise you get 10 icons on the map for each café (coffee, pastries, egg&chips, ...). Or, you have to ask your router to guide you to a place where they have beefsteak, beer and rum if you feel like that.
