Say, a book store with a café. Or a place that is a café by day and a wine bar by night.

    Seems to me that the data validations should be designed to only present a conflict if you have a business operating in the same place at the same time as another business.

    This enables mixed-use scheduling, and it also allows the system to retain historical data about businesses that are completely replaced by other businesses, allowing for viewing of older snapshots of the map.

    That being said, I have no idea what this sub is or what we’re discussing.

      OP is trying to accurately tag a location they were adding to OpenStreetMap, an open source alternative to services like Google Maps. The conflict arose because currently, the location can only have one tag applied to it, but the business serves multiple purpose as the same entity under the same name, which complicates the ability to accurately tag it.
