Alas, no. There is no "parent objects" like this. Another change you have to be aware of: What happens if a shop closes down and then another shop opens up? This could be mapped by someone just changing the name (and possibly amenity/shop) tag rather than delete the object and create a new one. So the same node & node id would change in your database. The suggestion of looking for "a fast food restaurant named McDonalds near the place" will solve that problem. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
