I could agree on this, but it's probably not necessary: If it's a restaurant, it won't be a concert hall at the same time, if it's a music venue, the restaurant will be either a (smaller) part of it (taggable inside the venue boundary) or it will be a special kind of restaurant (i.e. the music is an attribute and tagged as such on a restaurant). Btw.: It is not so common to have concerts in restaurants time anyway, usually having concerts is more a thing of bars, pubs and nightclubs (which also offer food, but which are not restaurants). The kind of music you usually have in a restaurant (even if it's live) is more "background" music (IMHO). > Agreed for the super-tag, it's not necessary.

They are all pretty vague and have lot's of gray areas. So I'm sure a place exists that could be tagged as a caffe, fast_food, restaurant, pub and a night_club. I think we shouldn't lose too much sleep over it. Just use the one that surrounding people use most. But if we want to be precise, we can invent a big collection of attributes which should be strictly used. Tags like service:bicycle:rent=yes, dance_podium=yes, service:food:pizza=yes, service:drink:coffee=yes etc. That's information you should be able to rely on. If you have a amenity=caffe + service:food:pizza=yes, it can still be called a caffe. Janko ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

I don't agree at all with this. They are very different features with the only thing in common that there is someone playing "music" and there is a space for an audience to listen to. We already have other features in OSM which also describe features that are included in this definition (e.g. bandstand). Of course there are different possibilities to structure the world into "classes", but for me a concert hall merits a different base tag than a music venue for rock concerts. And of course there might also be places where they perform both kinds of concerts (but I guess that's the exception and not the standard). cheers, Martin ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Agreed. There are too many tags as it is. Excessive distinctions causes a lot of pointless hair splitting arguments ("should I tag this as a concert hall or a music venue?") OTOH, if amenity=concert_hall, amenity=music_venue and leisure=music_venue are all in pretty similar usage, we're pretty much free to pick one to support. I'd take amenity=music_venue, as the term is the broadest (and happily encompasses concert halls - the reverse isn't true). leisure=* seems wrong - those tags are generally about sports and recreation outdoors. > Well, when you think of it there is a difference, concert halls usually have > chairs. Is that a good separator of the two? Not at all - lots of other venues do too. You could argue that concert halls are designed for the performance of classical music, but even that will break down. It's not a distinction that needs to be made. Can you imagine a map that has different icons for "concert halls" vs "music venues"? > Maybe we could invent a tag like "music=rock;classical;popular" that > differentiates those halls, and tag them all with amenity=music_venue.

I did look at my favourite venue, Rock City in Nottingham, but that is tagged as a night club. I don't think it does it justice, it does have a night club downstairs, but that is not the reason people travel from all over the country to go there. I saw INXS there back in the early 90s. I would support amenity=music_venue, it describes this type of place. In my mind, amenity=concert_hall is different, I would use that for posher places such as The Royal Albert Hall and Carnegie Hall. The tag live_music=yes has been used 9 times, I think that is good for somewhere like a pub that has regular live music, but live music is not its primary use.
