Warin's original proposal was sells:car:BMW=yes sells:car:Mini=yes This got objection because it introduced values in the key. Your proposal "product:car:brands" solves that problem, but uses semi-colons, something that got objection recently in another thread because AFAIK of parsing problems (no escape character) and limitations on the field length. Now someone can propose something like product:car:brand_1 can get objections for that as well. IMHO we need a way to specify brands for a limited number of products, since some shops are characterised by the brands they sells. This is not the case for supermarkets, bakeries, ... (I think). The Apple Store, and car (or vehicles in general) dealers are well known examples, but there might be other type of shops. I think fashion stores can be associated with a limited number of brands as well. But we cannot solve this unless we have a framework that allows us to specify multi-valued keys. Perhaps we should continue discussion you MV-proposal first before we discuss this particular case ? Or we could use this one as an example for the more general discussion ? m _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
