Commercial context
This product brings records for World heritage sites and Article 4 direction areas into one table so the recorded geographic relationship can be reviewed without performing the spatial join separately. A row means that the recorded subject location lies within the named context area and adds no further interpretation to that match. Teams can filter by either entity, group records by context area, map the supplied locations, and combine the CSV output with other datasets for further investigation. It is intended as a practical starting point for location-based research and comparison.
