-# Dataset Card for Curio Tree Data
+# The Curio Tree Dataset
 
-This repository contains much of the tree inventory, images and stories data that was collected on the Curio platform. It contains the basic inventory details of 2.5 millions trees worldwide as well as 27,288 images of trees that were upload to the platform and linked to individual trees and the data captured on those trees. Notes, tags and conversations linked to trees are also included.

+
+- Inventory type details of 2.5 millions trees captured across locations worldwide (location, species, diameter at breast height (DBH), height, vitality etc, where available)
+- 27,288 images of trees that were upload to the platform by our community and linked to individual trees.
+- Notes (stories), tags and conversations linked to trees.
 
 ### 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).
+Curio was an environmental education and outreach platform that was predominantly focused on urban forestry. It connected the multiple stakeholders involved in the management of urban forestry with the public and importantly made all data uploaded via its web and mobile apps publicly available. The platform was live from March 2016 until August 2023 when the maintainence overheads made it infeasible. Curio 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). A sense of the platform and how it worked can be found via the video on [our youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@curio-xyz7991/videos)
 
 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.

+- Investigations into urban tree biodiversity.
+- The development of an algorithm to extracting tree attributes via a photo or streetview imagery.
+- A tree species detection app.
+- The detection trees of via satellite imagery.
+- Species identfiication via hyperspectral tree.
 
-### Out-of-Scope Use
+ It worth noting that for most use-cases cleaning, analysis and processing of data will be necessary. The completeness of tree inventory data varies greatly and users were not directed in anyway in terms of how to frame the photos they took and uploaded via the Curio app.
