Public data provenance

Method & licences

The public and open datasets that actually reach Golf Golf Baby pages, with the reuse conditions kept beside the source.

A dataset appears here because it is used in current public output and its reuse terms have been checked. Storage in D1 or R2 is never treated as publication permission.

Attribution and modification notices

  • OpenGolfAPI: course data is attributed to the OpenGolfAPI community under ODbL 1.0. Golf Golf Baby normalises names, matches locations and suppresses duplicate identities; ODbL conditions continue to apply to derivative databases.
  • OpenStreetMap: © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under ODbL 1.0. Golf Golf Baby filters golf features and publishes only exact independently corroborated matches.
  • GeoNames: GeoNames data is licensed under CC BY 4.0. Golf Golf Baby normalises and matches place records, retains attribution and identifies those changes here.
  • Wikidata: structured data is made available under CC0 1.0. Attribution is not required by CC0, but Golf Golf Baby keeps Wikidata named and linked as provenance.
  • Overture Maps Places: the applicable per-record CDLA Permissive 2.0, Apache 2.0 or CC0 licence is retained. Records are filtered, matched, normalised and distance-ranked by Golf Golf Baby.

  • NaPTAN: contains public sector information from the Department for Transport licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Golf Golf Baby filters active dated nodes by straight-line distance and never presents them as routes or live services.
  • National Weather Service: forecast information is fetched on request, time-gated and shortened to a small planning view. The result is not presented as an official NWS display, does not imply endorsement and is not course-condition or safety advice.
  • Environment Agency: monitoring-station and current-flood data contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Golf Golf Baby filters active stations, derives straight-line proximity and keeps the England-wide snapshot separate from local course claims.

Approved R2/importer feed ledger

These are the four feeds assigned to golfgolfbaby.com by the curated importer. “Imported” proves a completed, manifest-matched acquisition; it does not by itself permit a local course claim.

Unavailable or not published

Gated and unrelated feeds are kept visible as exclusions so absence cannot be mistaken for a verified zero.

Private and contract-governed inputs

Private accommodation, affiliate and R&A equipment holdings are not rows in this table and do not reach current public output. Their presence in storage does not grant display, redistribution or transformation rights. They stay private unless a separate source-specific licence, identity, freshness and publication review clears them.

No public dataset distribution

This page documents inputs used by the site; it does not offer a downloadable Golf Golf Baby dataset. The public site remains a course atlas, so no Dataset structured data is emitted. See the publication methodology for the separate identity and page-quality gates.
