Wikidata:WikiProject Campsites/Sweden

The aims of WikiProject Campsites/Sweden (Q119998612) are:

• lobby the Swedish authorities to release good quality open (linked) data about all the campsites, barbecue places and shelters in their area of responsibility
• add all known campsites, barbecue places and shelters in Sweden to Wikidata

TODO

• Cleanup conflated campsites/shelters. We now want a separate item for the shelter if any.
• Define a campsite better. What should be included/excluded?

Government sources

Municipalities

The municipalities number 290 and until now only 1 is known to have released shelters as open data. Many send their data to https://www.naturkartan.se/en/ where it is said to be copyrighted, but it is debatable whether a private enterprise can claim copyright on publicly collected and owned data from the municipalities.

Uppsala

Uppsala but the license is still unclear.

Naturvårdsverket

The counties have data on shelters that are within the borders of the nature reserves that they have the responsibility of maintaining and protecting.

The counties until now does not seem to release any open data, but report to Naturvårdsverket about these reserves and as part of that Naturvårdsverket also releases so called leder och anordningar (paths and amenities) under CC0:
