Metadata

In order to make our data reusable and interoperable, we provided them with their metadata, following the DCAT_AP (v 2.0.0) documentation. We provided metadata for the whole catalogue (including the three datasets) and for each dataset individually. Moreover the RDF assertion for the metadata, following the Turtle serialization, has also been released.

Title CCODe - Natural Events
Description This dataset contains data from different organizations related to the following natural events: precipitation, temperature, sea ice, floods, droughts, wildfires and threatened species. For precipitation, temperature and sea ice the data were collected on a global scale; while for droughts, floods, wildfires and threatened species, data were collected on a country based scale. The temporal coverages of the datasets are different; the majority of them collected data from 1980 to 2019, but there are some cases that bring back to 1880 and some others that end at the beginning of the XXI century.

Documentation

CCODe project has been carried out for the exam Open Access and Digital Ethics of Digital Humanities and Digital Knowledge course at the University of Bologna. The aim of the project is the analysis and the further re-use of open access datasets, in order to find some kind of new knowledge reachable through the mashup of the original data. The scenario object of our study is climate change. What interested us was to go deeper in showing:

  • The main factors of climate change;
  • The impact of the countries on climate change and the commitments undertaken by them to fight it;
  • The opinions of the European Union citizens on climate change.

    • In line with our purpose, we selected 15 datasets and we performed on them several analysis under different points of view, then we extracted the data which we were interested in and finally we created three new datasets based on the above-mentioned areas.

    The last step was the visualization of our datasets to facilitate the access and the understanding for the final user.
