Data & licences

Root combines open datasets with checks by owners and visitors. If you republish our exports, keep the attribution below.

Sources

  • OpenStreetMap: map geometry and many place fields (ODbL). OSM is edited all the time, and Root re-checks on top of that.
  • Defra organic register: the organic flag, where we can match a place (Open Government Licence).
  • Owner and visitor submissions: reviewed before they go live, and labelled on the place record.
