<div class="moz-cite-prefix">OSM could use as Michał suggested
Wiki{pedia|data} tags. There is also <i>wikimedia_commons</i> [1]
tag and geographical coordinates from Wikipedia articles
themselves easily available via MediaWIki API.<br>
<br>
I wrote a web-application which displays either Wikipedia articles
on the map, or OSM Wiki{pedia|data|<i>media_commons</i>} tags as
clickable markers with a link to a respective article, category,
file, wikidata entry: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://ausleuchtung.ch/geo_wiki/">http://ausleuchtung.ch/geo_wiki/</a> . It works
for all language versions of Wikipedia.<br>
<br>
Certainly if used on the main OSM map this data should be cashed.
Edifices which have a Wikipedia article could be shown in a
distinctive color too and have a small clickable icon with the
letter "w" inside leading to a respective article, category, file,
wikidata entry.<br>
<br>
I would be even better than Google Maps as in Wikimedia categories
and articles we can publish nowadays also HD videos of a building
with aerial footage, so that one can see a building on the OSM map
and then as if fly around it to view better [2].<br>

<div>I'm guessing Google is not only using POIs, but several
other sources, like geo Tweets, got tagged photos put up on
Google+, and so on. I think they are trying to make it easy
for tourists to find the "in" spots where something is
happening. If you're trying to find a nice restaurant, night
club, pub or something like that, zoom in to the yellow area.<br>

like this is an excellent idea, however we shall not rely<br>
on colors alone as several percent of people cannot
distinguish colors<br>

develop with an<br>
advanced age, so no one is color-safe.<br>
<br>
We do not hear often about color blindness as people tend not
to speak<br>
about it. But in fact maybe up to ten percent cannot see
differences<br>
between certain colors at all.<br>
