[Tagging] 'amenity:hospital' at university hospitals?

[Lena Essig]

Hello,
during mapping hospitals I found some university hospitals which are inside
a university terrain. They are tagged with "buidling:hospital" - without an
amenity tag, and some which are tagged with "building:hospital" AND
"amenity:hospital".
In most cases the university terrain is used as the terrain outline of the
hospital.
Ususally hospitals should be tagged like this:
- hospital building: "building:hospital"
- hospital terrain outline: "amenity:hospital"
Of course there can also be address informatione etc. ([1]
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dhospital>)

One example can be found in Heidelberg, Germany:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/26946230#map=15/49.4194/8.6670
There is only the university terrain (with amenity=university), and the
hospital building is tagged as "building:hospital".

They did it differently in Tübingen, Germany.
All university campuses, which are spread over several locations, are in a
relation
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/8639592#map=15/48.5305/9.0585, and
some pieces of them are tagged with "amenity:hospital":
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/89132589.

Now what is the right way? 'amenity: university' on university campuses,
and around the hospitals another campus with 'amenity: hospital'? Or both
tags, 'amenity: hospital' and 'building: hospital', to the hospital
building?
