OSM Tag Classification Source Needed for Commercial-Industrial-Retail Table - Nature Cities

Where is the definitive list of what specific tags belong to Commercial, Industrial, and Retail? I am looking for a website or official documentation that provides a detailed breakdown of what belongs in these three categories: Commercial, Industrial, and Retail. I need a source that explicitly lists the sub-categories for each. For example, a list that clearly shows that "banks" or "offices" belong to Commercial, "gift shops" or "malls" belong to Retail, and "warehouses" or "factories" belong to Industrial. Does anyone have a link to a "tag dictionary" or a classification table that maps granular OSM tags (like shop=, office=, craft=*) into these three specific land use groups? The reason is, I want to include a table in the Appendix for a paper I am about to submit in Nature Cities journal, and a reviewer might ask me about these categories within each land use (Commercial, Industrial, Retail).

Scientist Volunteers for Global Profile Series in Nature

Are you a scientist who enjoys work but needs a little extra fulfillment? And finds it in practical voluntary/charitable work? I'm writing a series of profiles for Nature Magazine about this after meeting an inspiring surgeon and #researcher who mentors surgical residents around the world, manages research/innovations projects, and does clinical work for a medical humanitarian NGO. My editor David Payne liked the idea so much he asked me to find a further three examples - not necessarily someone who sits on a charity board as an advisor but who works more practically. I need a global spread so please do get in touch, ideally if the philanthropic cause you volunteer for has nothing to do with your scientific research/job. Or do you represent a charity where a scientist does exceptional work for you in their spare time, and you can put me in touch? Please repost for wider dissemination.
