I recently discovered a preset in JOSM that should help in my work,
shop=motorcycle (See:Presets/Transport/Motorcycle/Motorcycle Dealer in
JOSM rel 9900). It is very detailed and would seem to cover every
possible aspect of such shops from clothing and accessories to
service. But it uses some tags and values that I've never seen and for
which I could find no documentation.
In addition to the established tag brand which defines the name of the
vehicle's manufacturer, (brand=Yamaha, brand=Honda), brand as a value
appears as an offering for several other tags. Here is a section of
the Wiki page for shop=motorcycle
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dmotorcycle>
The following is a proposal to put this service variety into tags:
* /sale=yes/brand/used/no/.../ - sells whole motorcycles
* /rental=yes/brand/no/.../ - motorcycle rental
* /repair=yes/brand/oldtimer/no/.../ - repairs / maintains motorcycles
* /safety_inspection=yes/no/ - inspection
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_inspection> of
safety/emission regulation conformance
* /parts=yes/brand/oldtimer/no/.../ - sells motorcycle parts
* /clothes=yes/brand/no/.../ - sells motorcycle clothes / equipment
* /scooters=yes/no/only/ - to distinguish scooter shops, very useful
in Asia
* /services=.../ - other services this shop offers
Note the tag "sale" which can take values of yes, no, or brand. I
reckon it means what it says but "sale" seems a poor choice for a tag.
(Note too that the Preset does not offer "used" in the choices as the
Wiki implies.) If the wording in the Wiki is followed then this tag
means the shop sells "whole motorcycles" (as opposed to pieces of
motorcycles) of a certain brand. Fine, but the brand tag in the main
section of the preset already specifies that, doesn't it? Is it
logical to expect a shop selling new Hondas to also sell pieces of
Yamaha motorcycles?
One could reasonably assume that "brand" in those other cases means
clothing of a certain brand, parts of a certain brand, etc., but what
is the value "oldtimer" supposed to indicate?
Thanks for your help and comments.
Most shops sell more than one brand of an item.
And 'sale' is usually taken to be a special event where prices are lower.
secondhand is already in the wiki
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:second_hand ... status= approved
.. so you would assume it has been discussed here and voted on. Around
June 2012.
safety_inspection= ... see wiki amenity= vehicle_inspection
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dvehicle_inspection
oldtimer refers to older things.. usually no longer sold 'new' but
either 'restored', 'used' etc. Example; vintage and veteran cars.
Presently bicycle shops have a dedicated tagging scheme... are all shops
to have there own individual and incompatible scheme? Or can we have ONE
common scheme? Please?
I would prefer
sells:motorcycle:yamaha:honda=yes
sells:motorcycle:parts:honda=yes
sells:motorcycle:tyres:yes !NOTE UK ENGLISH!
sells:scooters:hysong:yes
sells:motorcycle_clothing=yes
Repair, maintain and service .. can all mean the same thing!!!! These
can be a separate area.. a 'workshop' with a separate entry and
separate reception.
