Cultural Places in Dominica from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports for Dominica include museums, galleries, theatres, places of worship, monuments, and historic sites. The data is compiled by volunteer mappers and hosted by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team. Completeness varies, with urban areas likely being better mapped than remote regions.

Use Cases

• Map cultural tourism resources based on OSM tags for `tourism`, `amenity`, `historic`, and `heritage`.
• Support heritage protection planning by identifying and cataloging historic sites.
• Create tourism context layers for regional analysis and development.

Strengths

• Includes multiple cultural place types defined by four specific OSM tag keys.
• Available in six common geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, and GEOJSON.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Completeness is noted to vary by region, with remote areas potentially incomplete.
