building=- all kind of subtags related to the building (name, opening_hours, etc.)
- The "oven" OSM object (probably a node, eventually a way or a multi-polygon relation):
amenity=baking_ovenoven=wood_firedopening_hours=Sa 14:00-18:00; Su-Fr,PH off(time when it is possible to use the oven and only if it is different of the opening hours of the building)operator=Municipality of Anchorage

- The "building" OSM object (way or multi-polygon relation):
- The "oven" OSM object (probably a node, eventually a way or a multi-polygon relation):
disused:amenity=baking_ovendisused:oven=wood_fired
