I hope this is the right place to ask about tagging

Some have their shop windows separated by building entrances or a
different shop windows
How do I map these ?
My idea is that every shop window should be its own point with
address info and then a relation should group them and be tagged
with common data, such as the shop name, the web site, the phone
number, the operator, whatever
Does anyone here know of any example of a similar situation ?
I would say that it depends on your jurisdiction and how they create
addresses. In my case, the address is set most of the time by what
side the water meter is on. In that case it is easy to set the
address except on corner buildings like you point out. In addition,
in newer addresses it seems that the whole structure gets an address.
Then sub-addressing as they call it provides a suite/flat number for
each of the shops. I have also seen the cases that you provide. In
this case, I make an address point in the building polygon where the
doorway is located. A shop window can provide the same address point
location. I just create a separate POI for the shop. The address
will remain even if the building is torn down but shop owner and
merchandise can have great volatility.
A single shop:
Some larger 'shops' have entrances on all sides of a block - so that is
on 4 streets. However the shop would only use one of those addresses.
You don't tag the individual windows, you tag the shop - either as a
single node towards the shop entrance, or main entrance if it has more
than one entrance, or you tag it as an area using a closed way.
Multiple shops:
Tag each shop separately .. they may share addresses being within the
same building.
