Use Cases

• Map cultural heritage sites for protection based on OSM tags like `historic` and `heritage`.

• Derived from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative global map built by volunteers.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are usually well-mapped, remote areas may be incomplete.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
