Definition
[[GlossaryDefinition::1. OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. The creation and growth of OSM has been motivated by restrictions on use or availability of map information across much of the world, and the advent of inexpensive portable satellite navigation devices.[5] OSM is considered a prominent example of volunteered geographic information.]]

OSM in oedb
OSM can be imported in PostgreSQL.
The oedb has the schema openstreetmap.
All keys and tags are stored in the tags column with format hstore.
To query hstore is different but simple:
SELECT * FROM openstreetmap.osm_deu_point WHERE tags ? 'research_institution'
SELECT tags -> 'name' AS name, tags -> 'short_name' AS abbreviation FROM openstreetmap.osm_deu_point WHERE tags @> '"amenity"=>"research_institute"'
The import is done with osm2pgsql, oedb.style and setup_openstreetmap.sql
