# Dataset Card for Curio Tree Data |
|
|
|
This repository contains much of the tree inventory, images and stories data that was collected on the Curio platform. |
|
|
|
### Dataset Description |
|
|
|
Curio was an environmental education and outreach platform that was predominantly focused on urban forestry. It connected multiple stakeholders involved in the management of urban forestry and importantly made all data uploaded via its web and mobile apps publicly available. The platform was live from March 2016 until August 2023 and was supported in its early stages by two European Space Agency projects, through the [New Commons](https://business.esa.int/projects/new-commons) and [Curio Canopy](https://business.esa.int/projects/curio-canopy). |
|
|
|
This repository contains much of the tree inventory, images and stories data that was collected on the platform via our community, projects we helped support and open data tree inventories we uploaded onto the platform. We are keen to make this data available for research purposes in the hope it might be of benefit to others and to further the efforts of our community. |
|
|
|
We have endeavored to name as many of those great projects and data sources that were hosted on the Curio platform in the attribution section below. If there are any omissions or errors please contact us. |
|
|
|
A related project involved generating a high resolution map of tree canopy cover for the Greater London Authority. Details of that project and dataset can be found on the [London Datastore Curio Canopy page](https://data.london.gov.uk/dataset/curio-canopy). |

## Dataset Structure |
|
|
|
<!-- This section provides a description of the dataset fields, and additional information about the dataset structure such as criteria used to create the splits, relationships between data points, etc. --> |
|
|
|
### TaggedTrees |
|
|
|
Number of data points: 2,593,139 |
|
|
|
The details of an individual tree including its location, species, diameter at breast height (dbh), vitality etc. when available |
|
|
|
### Images |
|
|
|
Number of data points: 27,288 |
|
|
|
The details of images that were uploaded to the platform. The path to the actual image uploaded, this can be found in uploads directory. The details of what the image was attached to which usually was a ‘Story” that was then attached to a tree are also included. |
|
|
|
### Uploads: |
|
|
|

|
|
|
### Tags and Taggings |
|
|
|
Trees could be tagged with details such as diseased, monitored, newly_planted, apples, overhead cables etc. Anything at all really that could later be used to filter, group or identify trees of interest as well describe their state. |
