Overture has no descriptions, and the encyclopaedias only describe the places that have an article, which is a fraction of a percent. What Overture does have is the address of the page the description is on, for 43 percent of places, and those pages publish a summary in JSON-LD or og:description precisely so machines can read it. The API fetches each page once and keeps the summary; every instance reads it from there. TREK never opens a business's website itself, which would mean one request per instance per place against small servers. In the ladder it sits below the encyclopaedias and above Google: an article about this exact place beats the operator's own copy, but for a restaurant or a shop the operator's summary is the only one that exists.
