Hi Pierre-Alain, That's a good question. I thought I'd search a couple of names to see how they are tagged. Here is a selection:
INRIA (in France): * office=research http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2529263700 * office=government http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/124838923 * landuse=commercial (huh?) http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/52380877 Fraunhofer (in Germany): * office=research http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/146020861 * office=research http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2869588612 * landuse=industrial http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/244665212 * landuse=commercial (huh?) http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/62306004 (I haven't listed entries which don't really have any tagging.) In my opinion office=research is a good choice, and it is already used a lot: http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/compare/office=research/industrial=laboratory/office=laboratory Best Dan 2014-08-05 11:06 GMT+01:00 Pierre-Alain Dorange <pdora...@mac.com>: > Hello, > > First sorry for my poor english, i was french (no one is perfect). > > I was looking to tag "Research Laboratory" (either private/commercial > and public), part or not part of a univercity.
