DESCRIPTION:Current GIS stacks expose geographic data brilliantly — but n
 o layer exists between raw geodata and agent cognition. AI agents querying
  PostGIS or running RAG on vector tiles are not geo-aware: they retrieve f
 eatures\, they don't perceive place.\nGeoBard is an open service that addr
 esses this gap. Given a GeoJSON viewport and contextual parameters — tim
 e of day\, historical period\, cultural domain — GeoBard performs semant
 ic grounding: it synthesizes a situated natural language narrative of what
  an agent perceives at that location. Not a feature summary. A description
  of presence.\nBuilt on top of OpenFantasyMaps and OpenHistoryMap structur
 ed geodata\, GeoBard is source-agnostic and stack-composable: it sits betw
 een any OGC API / vector tile source and any agent runtime\, with no LLM l
 ock-in. It is the missing perceptual layer for geo-aware AI agents in FOSS
  infrastructure.
