Extras
Build tools using CartoDB: layering maps with interactive functionality, and leveraging location-based data to clarify your message and amplify the global impact of your maps.
Data Attribution
In CartoDB you can find two types of layers: basemaps and user data. Basemap is the layer that you see on the background of the maps and user data layer is the user data displayed on top of it. The data behind these two layers come from different places.
-
Basemaps
We use a variety of different basemaps by default. We recommend you read their attribution information and respect their licenses when using them.
-
Stamen Tiles
Stamen produces Toner, a tile set created using OpenStreetMap. Map tiles by Stamen Design, under CC BY 3.0. Data by OpenStreetMap, under CC BY SA.
-
User tileset
On the CartoDB interface, the user has the possibility to use external tile sets. The attribution to those tile sets should be state by the user on the interface where it is publishing the map, or using the JS library to do so.
-
User data
On CartoDB most data is uploaded by the users. When the users upload their data, they acknowledge they have the right to do so and should provide attribution information together with the map or as complementary text visible together with the map
Technology
CartoDB is an Open Source project (under a BSD license) and it makes use of many different Open Source projects. It is very complicated to describe every single library/project used on the whole stack, so do not consider this a comprehensive list and please check the GitHub page for more information.
