<p>Colin and others,</p>
<p>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.<br>
</p>
<p>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)</p>
<p>And than we landed on the meaning of the vague term "college"...
<br>
</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>This is why the ISCED codes exist:</p>

<p>They are already used in OSM:</p>

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

Anyway, no tagging scheme for education will ever be
perfect, the differences between individual countries and
the usage of specific terminology is vast.</blockquote>

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.<br>
