| Field Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| attribution | string | REQUIRED. A short text intended for presentation to a user, for example, in a corner of a map. |
The attribution is a short text intended for presentation to a user, for example, in a corner of a map. Parts of the text can be links to other resources if additional information is needed.
The attribution element can contain HTML markup. It allows a text string to import images and format text. The capabilities are only limited by the markup language used. It is RECOMMENDED to keep the attributions simple so that clients can render them properly, ideally just plain text and potentially a link that points to additional information. Additionally, clients may decide to restrict the HTML capabilities for security reasons.
See the Contributor documentation for details.
