These can be commercialfirms, part of the government, or part of a
university etc.
They usually specialise in one field so will need sub tags.
I would question whether we put all kind of "laboratory" into the same
category and distinguish them by subtags. There are too many different
kind of things that could be subsummized as "laboratory". Think about
eletronic laboratories, chemistry research labs, biochemical labs,
labs for human healtcare analytics, etc.
First distinction could be "research lab" vs. "analytical lab" vs.
maybe more types, and these should IMHO become main tags, not subtags.
There is also some potential confusion with the word "laboratory"
being used as a hyped name for workspace where you would not expect
it, e.g. software laboratory, architectural design laboratory, art
laboratory, etc.
So we would need some definition, what the criterion for "laboratory"
is (or is it the name?).
To me a true 'laboratory' has controlled environmental conditions,
usually temperature is tightly controlled, the better labs have humidity
control probably not as tight.
They may have other things controlled too - such as radio interference,
dust.
A software, art or architectural design laboratory would not meet these
conditions. The key being that the control is tighter (narrower)
environmental control than, say for example, an office environment.
