My question relates specifically to tagging college grounds but I suppose it applies in general to multiple uses, especially schools.
The York College of Law is here: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.93293&lon=-1.08968&zoom=16&layers=B000FTF
The grounds are private and clearly defined by a hedge that runs all around. The building itself (and its car park) sit basically within a grassy field and take up a relatively small proportion of the area. You wouldn’t really call it a campus.
Amenity=college renders an area as a pale khaki colour in mapnik and a rather striking lilac in Osmarender, but landuse=grass renders green in both.
How do I tag the area?
I think my options are:
-
Tag the area as landuse=grass and add a node amenity=college roughly where the building is. It’s not all grass though, obviously.
-
Tag the area as amenity=college only and lose the fact it’s mostly grass
-
Tag the area as both amenity=college and landuse=grass and let the renderer decide what colour to make it
I’m also going to cross-post this on the mailing lists as they seem to be more active.
Thanks
