# Label Data Licensing

The Crop Type Label dataset is published as part of the reference data collections for ESA WorldCereal but was originally created by Department of Agriculture and Fisheries of the Flemish government (Belgium). The original dataset is published under [Model License Free Reuse - v1.0](https://overheid.vlaanderen.be/sites/default/files/documenten/ict-egov/licenties/hergebruik/modellicentie_gratis_hergebruik_v1_0.html) and is further published with changes by ESA WorldCereal under the [Creative Commons License (CC BY 4.0)](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).

Adaptions made as part of the publishing of the dataset for ESA WorldCereal are given in [this web link](https://ewocstorage.blob.core.windows.net/collections/pdf/2018_BE_Flanders_full_POLY_110.pdf) duplicated in [this pdf link](./2018_BE_Flanders_full_POLY_110.pdf). The link to the WorldCereal version of the dataset is given [here](https://worldcereal-rdm.geo-wiki.org/collections/details/?id=2018beflandersfullpoly110).

The changes made as to that of the ESA WorldCereal version of the dataset as part of publishing the data here are given below:
```
- The coordinate system was shifted to WGS84
- Converted shapefile to raster image
- Cropped raster images into many smaller raster images (coordinates given per image in the dataset)
- Change labels from those given by ESA WorldCereal to linear values 0 to 77 and unclassified/background given as 255. Where crop types labels were not unique in the list of labels, these crop types were merged. This new mapping of labels can be found in [meta_data.csv](../meta_data.csv).
