I've just been looking at operator tags on amenity=university. The first point is that 600+ are not tagged with operator. Secondly, *university hospitals*, such as Addenbrookes cause problems. In practice most buildings in university hospitals are NHS owned operated (I got round this at QMC

Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge is most definitely operated by NHS. However, there is a medical school which is part of the University which is on the same site, among several other University departments and labs, and increasingly private companies, Astra Zeneca is building a large new

Indeed, they would need unique IDs of some kind for this to work globally. I nearly said that in that mail. I would probably prefer that in a different tag that wasn't actually usually presented to a human reader, and I'm not sure about the UK company registration number as an ID, because not all

As I said, I think the upward compatible change for this is to use a tag with the unique ID of whatever operator (and I think URL would be a good one, not as a link, but an ID, since two people can't have the same one, and all orgs we'd be interested in would have one). That way operator remains
