How to tag glass cabinet in pedestrian zone?

Hi, how should I tag a glass cabinet that is placed in a pedestrian zone? Such cabinets can be quite large , for example 0.5 x 2.0 m and approximately 2 m tall, and frequently contain community information, touristic information or merchandise from nearby shops.

I’ve found some tags for things that look similar: indoor=glass_cabinet, amenity=public_bookcase, man_made=street_cabinet, advertising=poster_box, but none of this really fits.

( Maybe this example illustrates that the currently used tags are not well structured. A more structured approach might lead to:

  • What do you see: man_made=cabinet
  • What is it made of: cabinet:material=glass
  • What is it used for or what does it provide:
    • amenity=information, information=community_information or
    • amenity=information, information=citymap or
    • amenity=advertising, advertising=clothes

but this would probably collide with too many existing tagging concepts.)

Thanks for your help!
