The generic type is absolutely necessary, because the there is a lot implied in
a name and category - and people expect them to be presented and shown in
generic categories. (DIY, Hobby, clothing, etc).
but they also expect if you search “model trains” they don't give you a pin for
a scrapbooking craft store that has 4 model car kits on a back shelf.
The only reasonable answer (I have seen) is to have the shop=type and
type=subtype + type:detail:object=yes model to to let people add the major
focus and outliers *=no) and use the service and repair tag the same way.
People don’t need to try to map what every chain store sells, because people
usually are familiar with what is in a chain (or could be added with a
automated edit to all of the chain locations) - but the small regional and “mom
& pop” stores definitely could use this level of detail - and would drastically
help with searches (if they are doing keyword searches). even separating dry
cleaning and coin laundry is a hassle in both Google maps and Apple maps in
(rural) Japan - I have submitted 10 different map repair requests just to get
laundromats to show up correctly when I search for one in my town - which means
their categories are crap and need to be properly segmented (and the rules
followed).
This generics also lets regional variations work in- generic:[lang]=detail →
hobby=plastic model
hobby:ja=プラモデル
I talked to my ham radio friend tonight, and the shop he visits deals only with
licensed hobbyist radios and their accessories / supplies / antennas (HAM,
microwave, and similar) - so having a shop=electronics +
electronics=radiotronics (what was that special word?) and then put whenever
you think belongs in the sells, services, etc.
This seems like a no-brainer: but a pretty big skeleton of types and subtypes
has to be made up or everything will a giant pile of dictionary vomit.
