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 landuse of schools, which IMO is
already covered by "amenity=school/college/university", as the Wiki
pages for these features have now for years stated that the entire
(campus) grounds should be tagged amenity=x, while the actual buildings
on there should use building=x (e.g.
building=school/university/"college??" or more appropriate tag if e.g. a
building=office)
And than we landed on the meaning of the vague term "college"...
I think, as the OP, I will personally leave it at this. With my first
post, I just wanted to note the apparent disparity with the existing
building=school/university. But it is not a big thing to me.

This is why the ISCED codes exist:

They are already used in OSM:

So the original enquiry can be addressed with building=school and
isced:level=*

Anyway, no tagging scheme for education will ever be perfect, the
differences between individual countries and the usage of specific
terminology is vast.
while this is true, choosing good names for the tags still helps in
reducing misunderstandings. "college" for example is not a very clear
term for use on global scale, because it can mean different things in
different places / context. Something more abstract like
secondary_school or different words like vocational school or
professional school, which describe a concept, would IMHO be better
than college.
cheers,
Martin
