Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent handle marketplaces by location, market days, traders, rules, food safety, heritage and accessibility.

An open space or building where a market is regularly held for buying and selling goods, such as market squares, covered market halls, bazaars, grain halls and historic forms like the Roman macellum; seasonal markets such as Ramadan bazaars and municipal markets also belong here.

What it is for: Local trade, food supply and community life.

It can be find market days and opening hours; find how to become a stallholder; check food safety and trading rules; learn about historic market buildings.
