Re: [Tagging] "building=college" tag missing from building key page

Colin and others, I think we have drifted a bit off of the original topic, my "original enquiry" was the notion that the "building=college" tag, with 15k uses, was not included on the building key page, and if it would be a good idea to include it. From there, there was discussion about

This is why the ISCED codes exist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Standard_Classification_of_Education#ISCED_2011_levels,_categories,_and_sub-categories They are already used in OSM: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/ISCED So the original enquiry can be

Re: [Tagging] "building=college" tag missing from building key page

I think this is exactly the issue we had discussed previously: "the concept" vs "the ID" for that concept. When words are used as IDs, they always come with semantic meaning based on your cultural background. The words "college" and "sanatorium" mean different things. With an opaque ID (e.g.

Yes, I agree "school" is a pretty loose term used from anything ranging from kindergarten to primary to secondary school / high school / college. However, "college" and "university" aren't. College, as Vao Matua also pointed out, usually refers to secondary school / high school age education,

Re: [Tagging] "building=college" tag missing from building key page

In Samoa the term "College" refers to a secondary school also known as a high school in other places. It seems that building=yes plus amenity=university for the area around the buildings would work for the college question. Can someone explain why there isn't a landuse=education tag, or

Hi Tom, Good point you raise about the building topology, but I do think there are reasons to allow this: - As to your point of building topology, as I mostly interpret this: * school: tag mostly used for kindergarten or primary school: generally only classrooms and no dedicated laboratory

Re: [Tagging] "building=college" tag missing from building key page

The method just to copy the amenity value onto the building value dilutes the idea that the building tag should describe the building typology. An educational campus often consists both of purpose-built buildings, e.g. with a large lecture hall, as well as re-dedicated buildings such as a

[Tagging] "building=college" tag missing from building key page

Hi, I noticed the tag "building=college" is missing from the main building key page (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:building). This tag is the equivalent of building=school/university as the accompanying key for tagging the actual buildings of an "amenity=college". It seems
