The hierarchy approach sidesteps some of that
building
what type of building?
school
what type of school?
elementary?
what type of elementary school?
Montessori
what type of Montessori elementary school?
eastern chapter
service
what type of service?
vehicle services
what type of vehicle service?
education
what type of vehicle service education?
driving school
But I think it better to go the other way. Start with the "duck":
driving_school
Then have a registry somewhere that puts that into context:
driving school = place where a member of the public can sign up to learn
vehicle operation
types of driving school:
* private vehicle
* taxi/commercial/paying passenger
* heavy goods vehicle
* specialty vehicle
* forklift/equipment
driving school + private_vehicle + fee = things open to the
general public, services, things you book in advance
driving school + heavy goods vehicle+ fee = services,
specialty services
Which other than the categories, pretty much is the wiki of today.
