Just a few shops share the same house number.

There are actually more shops in the mall than there are shops at the
OSM. And there are also shops in the level above.

The second is right in this example.

In fact every shop has an house number, but it is often not labeled at
the shop's door. The postal service would also know where to deliver
something, if you write for every shop inside the mall 97-103 instead of
the exact house number.

It is kind of both. So in the end you will have the 101 on the building
and the shop.

Since this is not redundant, I will agree. I think you could obtain the
address of an amenity within the building-way from the building way
attributes.

Since this is the common way - it would solve both problems in a way.
But just since you do not remove the house numbers from the building way
or the entrances, otherwise flats which are not tagged are identified in
the google way (as you are writing below).

So there are two separate buildings?

So you are preferring to double-tag each house number. In your example I
would say that you do not need to add house numbers to the shops because
they can be obtained from the building way.

Does Google use OSM Data at you place? At my place I guess google bought
the right to use those data from the local municipal authority or
somebody else.

Thank you for your opinion and helpful advices so far!


I am summing up a little bit (correct me, if I am going too far or am
wrong):
* Since you know the house number of a shop include it in the node/way
of the shop.
* In general it is allowed to have a house number twice or multiple
times - since it is correct in the real world.
* Two distinct buildings which share a house number are both tagged with
the house number (necessarily true).
* Since every shop/amenity of a building has a house number it can be
removed from the entrance node or building way.

Since all of that is common sense, I do not feel good about removing
house numbers from the building ways or entrance nodes.

May be some people do not agree in the first point, because they believe
that there will be an algorithm which obtains house numbers from the
building or entrance. Is this just trolling for their own tagging scheme
or does/will Nominatim support this (soon)?

But to keep the house number on the shop and remove it from the building
way would be kind of the same idea. Just the other way round.
