The "store" can be factored out. It is about what they sell - what is "hardware" against what is "stuff for DIY".
Looking at what you want to get out of a system, helps to determine what you need to put in. At the end of the day there are an infinite number of combinations of what a shop might sell. It doesn't matter what examples are discussed here, there will always be anecdotal evidence that it is wrong/incomplete. We are trying to reach consensus (I assume). If everyone just says that the shop near them sells X or Y this just emphasises how broad the spectrum of shops is. We are trying to model reality, not recreate it. That necessarily means compromises and simplifications. Talking about specific products like sinks is irrelevant unless you happen to be looking for a sink or the sale of sinks is essential to appropriately categorise the shop. How about giving ourselves a frame of reference? What use cases are we adressing? That might help to get the level of simplification right. I can suggest "where is the nearest hardware store", "give me a list of the hardware stores", "what kind of store is at this location".... Is the "list of hardware stores" the same as the "list of DIY stores"? When would a shop be included in one, but not the other? //colin On 2016-02-11 09:26, Martin Koppenhoefer wrote: > sent from a phone > >> Am 10.02.2016 um 15:04 schrieb Colin Smale <colin.sm...@xs4all.nl>: >> >> Are we writing our own dictionary? > > your links don't seem to bring much news into the discussion, especially as > they aren't for "hardware store" or "diy store". > > I also like Johns observation of diy stores selling the material as well, > while hardware stores mostly not.
