## Obtaining OS MasterMap Greenspace Layer data <a href="#id-1.-obtaining-os-mastermap-greenspace-lay" id="id-1.-obtaining-os-mastermap-greenspace-lay"></a>

This Getting Started Guide illustrates how to load OS MasterMap Greenspace Layer into several commonly used Geospatial Information System (GIS) applications. In most cases, instructions are also included on how to style the data after it has been loaded.

## Product formats <a href="#id-1.2-product-formats" id="id-1.2-product-formats"></a>

OS MasterMap Greenspace Layer can be downloaded from the [OS Data Hub](https://osdatahub.os.uk/). It is available in the following formats:

* ESRI shapefile
* GML (3.2.1)
* GeoPackage
* Vector tiles (MBTiles)

The data is supplied in 5km² tiles, but features are not clipped at tile edges, resulting in what is called ‘hairy’ tiles. All formats contain one element, namely the greenspace site information.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.os.uk/os-downloads/products/land-and-terrain-portfolio/os-mastermap-greenspace-layer/os-mastermap-greenspace-layer-getting-started-guide.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
