the book "Postgis in action" has a very good explanation about Organizing spatial data, and the example used includes uploading a OSM database from Paris, using different data models.
Also, Bostongis has a very nice tutorial of Loading OpenStreetMap data into PostGIS: An Almost Idiot's Guide <http://www.bostongis.com/?content_name=loading_osm_postgis#229> Hope it helps.
