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?
