That's what I've done with the university of Cambridge, which has allowed me to link the data to their database of institutions to drive search, as at http://map.cam.ac.uk (which is in beta at the moment). The refs have come from the University's own numbering scheme, which I extended to the colleges. There's a tagging schema on the wiki http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Cambridge/University_of_Cambridge And background to the project http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/davidearl/diary/ There's also API details via the map.
