[Talk-GB] Project Drake - mapping the University of Cambridge

[Gregory]

Durham University has a mixture of colleges that are independently
owned/run but affiliated to the university, and ones which are totally
owned by the university (perhaps some mixed). Teaching is done centrally in
whatever department subject is relevant.

Take a look at this relation...
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/1286552
And this department building...
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/29065345

There's probably some not-so-good tagging. The accommodation blocks
shouldn't really be amenity=college for example.

I made a map layer:

(no longer available online)
The issue is I'm not on the university staff to provide technical support
or knowledge. We've made a big step by having OSM/OCM as an option on
http://www.dur.ac.uk/map/

This is quite old, possible even predating the existence of OSM relations.

It makes reference to this page.
