I don't care, IMHO even small offices should have their place in osm, because in many cases they are of interest as well. The office-tag is near to what they are: offices where the business is operated from. These are no shops where you go to to do something as a common client, but probably you want to go there to apply a job offer, to have a meeting with that company or whatever else. Therefore I think we should not prevent such offices from being in osm.
but they are no shops, and they should not be tagged as being shops. You cannot go to the corresponding address and do something - as a usual client. regards Peter Am 04.12.2013 13:45, schrieb Martin Koppenhoefer: > 2013/12/4 Peter Wendorff <wendo...@uni-paderborn.de> > >> >> >> probably to part of prevent this issue you could allow your users to add >> their non-brick-and-mortar businesses to a separate database you manage. >> You could list them in the search, but not show them on the map. >> > > > > Is there common consense that we only want shop businesses and not > back-office businesses in OSM?
