FAIR PRINCIPLES
To maximize the potential use for our data set we have made sure to follow the FAIR-principles. This has been a high priority of ours and it will continue to be so when we extend the dataset. We have therefore made conscious efforts described below.
FINDABILITY
To make the dataset easily discoverable, we have provided a comprehensive introduction that clearly outlines the purpose, context, and potential uses of the data. We have included specific details such as the location of data collection as well as the GPS coordinates. We have also provided the date and time of data collection, ensuring that users can easily locate the dataset for their research purposes. All of this makes it easier to find the dataset for potential users as well as getting indexed better for search engines.
ACCESSIBILITY
We strongly believe in open access to data and want our data to achieve the biggest possible impact. Therefore, we have taken extensive measures to ensure the dataset is accessible to a wide range of users. We have made the dataset publicly available through our website, where interested users can access and freely download the dataset with very few restrictions.
We have provided clear instructions on how to access and retrieve the dataset enabling researchers, environmentalists, policymakers, and other stakeholders to easily obtain the data for their analyses. We have also included a disclaimer before accessing the data clearly outlining the Terms of Use of the data to ensure responsible data sharing.
INTEROPERABILITY
Interoperability is crucial for integrating and combining datasets from different sources. In order to enhance interoperability, we have structured the dataset in .csv which is standard practice with this area of research. This makes it machine-readable and easily compatible with various data analysis tools and softwares such as Excel.
REUSEABILITY
To achieve the reusability of our data we have ensured that our dataset is thoroughly described regarding its content and methods. We have provided comprehensive information about the data, including details on the data collection process, measurement units, time stamps etc. This detailed description allows users to gain a deeper understanding of the dataset's content and structure, making it easier for them to reuse the data for their own research purposes.
Secondly, we have released our data with a clear data usage license. The license explicitly outlines the terms and conditions for the usage, reproduction, and sharing of the dataset. By providing this license, we establish a transparent framework that enables users to understand their rights and obligations when reusing our data. Our goal with this isnt only to promote responsible data usage but also create a collaborative environment where researchers can confidently use and build upon our dataset.
