I've noticed that there are rather a lot of amenity=university objects in Cambridge, most of which seem to be on individual buildings rather than actual universities or even university sites. http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/HLV This seems to be in line with the tagging scheme described at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Cambridge/University_of_Cambridge , but doesn't follow what it says at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Duniversity "Individual elements of the university should not be tagged with amenity=university but can be mapped with operator=* and the name of the university".
The latter suggests that there should only be one amenity=university object per institution, with individual sites combined via a multi-polygon. I'm not sure I'd go quite that far, and I would be ok with using using amenity=university on the outline polygon of each site occupied by a university. At any rate I think it's wrong to classify individual internal buildings/features within each site as amenity=university. What do other people think? Could we get an agreement to at least remove the amenity=university tags from buildings etc within each larger university site? How best to tag university sites/campuses is perhaps a larger discussion, that it may take longer to reach a consensus on. Robert. PS: I'll invite David Earl to comment here, as he was behind the Project Drake work that did a lot of the mapping of University buildings. -- Robert Whittaker https://osm.mathmos.net/ _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
