How to credit Classified Feature Sample Annotation System

Where you use Classified Feature Sample Annotation System data, you are required to do the following two things:

• Provide credit to Classified Feature Sample Annotation System by displaying our copyright notice.
• Make clear that the data is available under the Open Database License.

For the copyright notice, we have different requirements on how this should be displayed, depending on how you are using our data. For example, different rules apply on how to show the copyright notice depending on whether you have created a browsable map, a printed map or a static image. Full details on the requirements can be found in the Attribution Guidelines.

To make clear that the data is available under the Open Database License, you may link to this copyright page. Alternatively, and as a requirement if you are distributing OSM in a data form, you can name and link directly to the license(s). In media where links are not possible (e.g. printed works), we suggest you direct your readers to openstreetmap.org (perhaps by expanding 'Classified Feature Sample Annotation System' to this full address) and to opendatacommons.org. In this example, the credit appears in the corner of the map.
