This proposal is an experimental type, for the mass proposing and voting on tag types in bulk. There are tens of proposed shop types; voting on each of them separately would be very time-consuming, and possible pointless as each shop tag is basically the same. Therefore, a list will be compiled here of all possible shop types. If any need further discussion, they will be removed from the list and dealt with separately as per other tag proposals.
Proposal
Intent: To mark the location of multiple shop types
Rationale
Tagging
The proposed tag is:
<tag k="shop" v="<shop type>"/> <tag k="name" v="<name of the shop>"/> (optional) <tag k="operator" v="<operator of the shop>"/> (optional)
System for tagging (Just an idea)
Shouldn't there be a stricter system for tagging shops? Like the ones up plus URL, telephone number, exact adress,spoken language and some sub-tags for the sold goods? This could it make easier to find the right shop in the area. And it could be possible to create a search system for shops, so that a user of OSM could find, for example, a motorbike shop in the area where he just is. If the shops are tagged in an exact system, the creation of such a shop search would be much easier in future (if it would ever be planned)
Proposed Rendering
depends on the shop
shop types
this table contains the list of all shop types that will be voted on in this proposal. if you want to include more types, please edit as necessary.
if you think a type needs more discussion, please add a brief comment explaining why - do not just remove it from the list.
at the end of the rfc period, any shops with comments will be removed from the list and a proposal created solely for each.
possible comments/reasons for more discussion may include:
- can be combined with xxxx
- redundant, there are only two of these in the world
- needs distinction between new, second-hand and antique
- needs distinction between men's and women's
- add extra tag for 24hr opening
- needs a tag to distinguish wholesale from retail
- ....please add any you see fit
| tag name | shop type/products it sells | comments. to indicate more discussion is needed | rendering suggestions | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| antique | Valuable old furniture and ornamental items | |||
| appliances | cookers, fridges, DVD players, games consoles, toasters | Selling "white goods". DVD players and consoles are electronics. Many shops have appliances and electronics. | a stove | |
| beverages | Alcoholic and Non-alcoholic beverages | none | a stylised soft-drinks bottle | |
| books | needs expanding into new and used | a book | ||
| cameras | subcategory of shop=photo?
Photo is probably better. Shops rarely sell *just* cameras. |
a camera | ||
| cars | car dealership | none | a car | |
| cellphones | I think phone would be more appropriate -- for UK at least. | a cellphone | ||
| chiropodist | foot care | none | a foot | |
| clothing | men vs. woman vs. both, specialities (work, suits, wedding, ...) I've tried this - very difficult to do in many cases, best to do as different tag, if at all. | a t-shirt | ||
| cosmetics | sells perfume, makeup, etc. e.g. Sephora | lipstick? | ||
| computers | none | a PC? a mouse? | ||
| crafts | sells beads and similar craft supplies | |||
| dentist | dental surgery | none | a tooth | |
| discount | store that sells a wide variety of cheap goods (e.g. dollar store, Wal Mart, Zellers) | what's this all about? | ??? | |
| department | the existing proposal uses department_store why do we need to add store? existing proposal is superseded by this | |||
| diving | Diving goods | none | Fins? | |
| electronics | same as appliances? No, there is a distinction (brown goods vs. appliances which are white goods), but many shops have both nowadays. | a TV | ||
| fish | a fishmongers | would prefer fishmonger (fish sounds more like a pet shop) | a fish | |
| florist | flowers, plants | a rose | ||
| furniture | new and old | a sofa | ||
| gifts | sells cards, wrapping paper, assorted gifts, etc. | a present? | ||
| glassware | antique/new? New. I've added antique as a separate category | a wine glass | ||
| guns | Premises selling guns, ammunition and related accessories like scopes etc. | none | Bullets/Ammo? | |
| hardware | sells tools, etc | none | a hammer | |
| hobby | sells model trains, airplanes, cars, etc. | model would be better, there are many other hobbies
that are not to do with modelmaking. |
||
| jewellery | none | a diamond | ||
| membership | stores needing a membership to shop at | shop=membership?!? - what like Costco/Sam's Club?
Think this belongs as "additional tag" -- see below |
membership card | |
| mobility | mobility scooters, wheelchairs, walking sticks etc | |||
| music | CDs, vinyl records, cassettes, etc. any recorded music | New vs. used | a treble clef, a vinyl record, a CD | |
| music_instruments | none | a guitar or piano | ||
| party | balloons, fancy dress, masks etc | a mask | ||
| payday_loan | a shop that offers short-term loans at very high interest rates | |||
| office_supplies | office supplies | stationery is more generic and accepted but really a different category? Office supply shops are usually large and additionally sell some office furniture, computer supplies etc. | ||
| optician | spectacles/glass, performs eye-tests | How to tag shops that do not provide eye tests but only sells glasses? | A pair of glasses | |
| organic | organic food and products/homoeopathic remedies | none | ||
| pets | how to tag shops that only sells pet equipment and pet food but no living pets? pet_supplies | a dog or cat | ||
| sewing | sells sewing supplies (fabric, thread, yarn, knitting needles, sewing machines, etc.) | a spool of thread | ||
| sports | sporting goods such as sports kit and equipment | new vs. used. I never saw a shop mostly selling used sports equipment. Would anybody buy this? Yes, for some types used equipment is viable - buying/selling used bikes, skis or ski boots is quite common. | a common piece of sporting equipment (like a soccer ball?) <- This one is used for soccer fields. May be confusing. I suggest piling 2 or more pieces of equipment (like hockey stick, soccer ball and sportsshoe) in one image to create an icon. | |
| stationery | writing paper, pens, paper clips, etc. | none | a pen | |
| thrift | a store selling low-cost used goods (e.g. furniture) - e.g. Goodwill, Value Village, Salvation Army | I think they are better known as charity shops | ||
| travel | a travel agent | |||
| video_rental | a place for renting videos/DVDs/etc | none | ||
| wedding | gowns, invitations and general wedding supplies | two hearts | ||
| wine | Wine | none | bunch of grapes | |
| outdoor | shop for climbing, hiking and camping goods | important for people in holiday, not so easy to find in a town | a rucksack |
| General comment on many of the above -- in most cases, singular could work better than plural. For instance, we always talk about a pet shop or car sales but never a pets shop or cars sales. Exception: sports shop is probably correct. |
additional tags
| tag name | comments. to indicate more discussion is needed |
|---|---|
| membership=yes | sells only to card holders |
| wholesale=yes | sells only to resellers (default: retail store) |
opinion
if there are any general objections to the bulk-voting concept, place them here. comments for specific shop types should be confined to the table above
