Data sources

Vetness shows places that haven't joined it yet from open data, and finds cities with open data too. Here is where the data comes from and under which licences.

  • Overture Maps Foundation — Places

    Places of the catalog: names, categories, addresses, phones, websites and points from Overture Maps Foundation's Places theme.

    Licence: CDLA-Permissive-2.0 · Licence text · Website

  • Foursquare Open Source Places

    Part of the Overture records comes from Foursquare Open Source Places. Copyright 2024 Foursquare Labs, Inc. All rights reserved. Licensed under the Apache License 2.0. Vetness has changed the files: it keeps a place's name, category, address, contacts and point, writes phones and links in one format and leaves out places marked closed.

  • AllThePlaces

    Part of the Overture records comes from AllThePlaces: the branches of chains — shops, clinics, hotels — from their own store finders, released into the public domain (CC0).

    Licence: CC0-1.0 · Licence text · Website

  • GeoNames

    City names in the interface languages, settlements and postal codes: GeoNames.

    Licence: CC BY 4.0 · Licence text · Website

  • OpenStreetMap

    Addresses suggested while a business types its address, and points on the map: © OpenStreetMap contributors (Nominatim, Photon); the map tiles credit their own sources on the map.

    Licence: ODbL-1.0 · Licence text · Website

A business that takes its page on Vetness edits it itself; from then on the page shows its own data.
