how should I go about constructing the map of a university compound using Openstreetmap? The project's objectives are as stated below:

  1. create a kml file of all places of interests(POI) i.e labs,libraries,lecture theatres etc.
  2. kml file should include descriptions and photos.
  3. Setup a website to demonstrate this map.

.1. Not sure what is the best way to create a kml file, but you can export kml from a postgresql/postgis database. To get the osm data into the database there are several programs available (which either use predefined schemes or require from you to define a scheme) like osmosis, osm2pgsql, imposm and others. The openstreetmap-wiki contains descriptions about these tools.

.3. You can do this for example with Openlayers.
