usage of the data on healthsites.io - for a small mapping project?!

General talk

good day dear community,

healthsite gathers data for open and complete approach to creating a global health facility data set by leveraging the power of OpenStreetMap

question: in corona - pandemic times, can we takt the data for a little service site that maps the hospitals that are available for the public health?
can we access and get the dataset from healthsites.io to work on the set of data to publish it to serve the folks in a. italy, or b. barbados or c. Senegal!?

answer: i guess so - since the data is under the Open Data Licence: (see Open data collaboration https://healthsites.io/ Through collaborations with users, trusted partners and OpenStreetMap we will capture and validate the location and contact details of every facility and make this data freely available under an Open Data License (ODBL) )

what do you think - can we do a little project with the dataset of helathisites.io?

what if i want to work on the data of the set eg on Barbados or Italy.:

https://healthsites.io/map?country=Barbados
https://healthsites.io/map?country=Italy
https://healthsites.io/map?country=france

look forward to hear from you

regards

see** the background:** https://healthsites.io/

preliminary conclusio: Since the data is released under Open Data License (ODBL), have a look at the TLDR Legal for ODBL (
cf https://tldrlegal.com/license/odc-open-database-license-(odbl) )

It seems like that we can make use of the data - since indeed it will fit the conditions of the license.

**Quick Summary: **A copyleft license used by OpenStreetMap and others with very specific terms designed for databases.

i look forward to hear from you and to get to know your ideas and thoughts and more…

have a great day
tag the world

You can use the OpenStreetMap data, more info can be found on the wiki https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Licence_and_Legal_FAQ (very brief summary you have to include (C) OpenStreetMap Contributors on any map you produce and any additional data you add will have to be released as ODbL as well)

You will have to ask the healthsite.io team whether you can use any of the maps they produce or other data that is used.

update:

Healthsites.io is a very interesting project which takes the collaboratively gathered data to a new level: The latest project features along with cutting-edge use cases.

**the question is: **To which extend i can use the data of healthsites.io - can i use the maps too?

  • can we use the data-extracts and the Maps too!?

  • are they released under the open licence?

cf, https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Global_Healthsites_Mapping_Project
https://github.com/healthsites/healthsites/wiki/healthsites.io-license

guess: Since the data is released under Open Data License (ODBL), have a look at the TLDR Legal for ODBL.
that said: it seems like we can use the data since it indeed fits the conditions of the license.

gueess that we can use

  • Data extracts per country that are available on Healthsites.io, which can be found by going to the map page and browsing the country list on the left panel. While clicking on the name of any country listed will show a dashboard for that country which includes a link for downloading the associated data as a shapefile.

  • can we use the data-extracts and the Maps too!?

well i guess that** it is evident: **

since the data in Healthsites.io are indeed under the ODBL licence: https://github.com/healthsites/healthsites/wiki/Data
one can therefore indeed reuse the data he keeps the same licence and attribution.

in othher words: healthsites.io uses OpenStreet Map data and per ODbL, every one is free to use this data in whatever way so far as he does attribute OpenStreetMap Contributors. we can find out about OSM copyright here https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright
