Historical dataset of mills for Galicia in the Austro-Hungarian Empire/southern Poland from 1880 to the 1930s.

ABSTRACT: In this article, we present the dataset of mills from 1880 and 1920s-1930s in the area of the former Galicia (78,500 km²), now in Ukraine and Poland. The data was obtained as a result of manual vectorisation from 162 map sheets at scales of 1:115,200 and 1:100,000, according to the map legends. We found 4022 mill locations for 1880 and 3588 for the 1920s-1930s. We present them as vector points in shapefile, GML, GeoJSON, KML formats with attributes for seven types of mills for 1880 and ten types of mills for 1920s-1930s, and mills counted in a 10 km grid. The data can be used in economic, demographic and environmental reconstructions, e.g. to estimate historical anthropopressure related to settlement, agriculture and forestry. Mills are often associated with river structures such as floodgates, dams, and millraces and therefore they are a good example of human interference in river ecosystems. They can also be one criteria for identifying areas where the local population used traditional environmental knowledge. It can be useful for a contemporary assessment of the environment's suitability for devices using renewable energy sources. Finally, the data on the remains of former mills is suitable for the protection of cultural heritage sites that are technical monuments related to traditional food processing and industry.

Mid-19th century road network dataset for Galicia and Austrian Silesia, Habsburg Empire.

Project description:In this paper, we present the vector dataset of the historical road network of Galicia and Austrian Silesia (>80 000 km2) in the mid-19th century - two regions of the former Habsburg Empire, located in Central Europe. The data were acquired manually from 455 map sheets of the Austrian second military survey map (1:28,800) for the four main road categories, according to the map legend. All the road categories present the roads passable at any time of the year, which was strategic information from the military point of view and build a network of 15 461 km. Currently, the data can be used by various researchers studying migrations, regional development, but also human impact on the environment, like land use change, invasive species introduction or landscape fragmentation. The dataset presents the times just before the most dynamic economic changes of the 19th century, which had a great impact on the region. On the other hand, the road network presented here was developed in the conditions of one country, the Habsburg Empire, which collapsed after the First World War, triggering the rise of new states and remodelling the transport network connections in Central Europe. Additionally, the data are accompanied by the layer of towns and villages with more than 2000 inhabitants, based on the 1857 Austrian census data.

Dataset of Historical Elections in Catalonia (DHEC): Micro-level Historical Results (1890-1923).

Project description:The Dataset of Historical Elections in Catalonia covers the most detailed information available for elections that took place in Catalonia during the period 1890-1923. It describes all the specificities of a unique dataset encompassing census tract electoral returns, together with candidate-level data and GIS information. This note presents the context of the electoral data by describing the electoral system and political characteristics of Catalonia and Spain for the period of interest. This dataset expands information regarding electoral data in Catalonia for the period, which until now was only available at the electoral district level. Micro-level electoral data has been collected from multiple different sources ranging from official gazettes, original electoral tallies preserved in a wide range of archives, and secondary sources. This note descriptively presents the data to show its reuse potential for a large array of social scientists interested in historical, political, economic, or demographic processes that took place at the early 20th century. This new dataset has a large potential for future social science research on electoral behavior or party system formation and can be employed to better understand how social processes influenced politics and vice versa.

A tourism dataset from historical transaction for recommender systems.

Project description:The tourism industry has currently grown in various aspects, including the types of attractions, their quantity, and the number of tourist visits in various regions, contributing positively to both regional and global economies. Historical transactions are essential for developing recommender systems, utilizing techniques such as Collaborative Filtering and Demographic Filtering. TripAdvisor is a reputable website providing a wide range of accessible tourism information, including attractions, user profiles, and ratings. However, this unstructured raw data requires processing to create an adequate dataset for recommender systems. This study conducted a series of data processing steps on the raw data, including data restructuring, validation, content addition, integration with Google Maps, normalization, and modeling. This study successfully produced an original dataset comprising User Transaction, Item or Attraction, Attraction Type, Continent, Region, Country, City, and Visiting Mode. It also includes an entity relational model for tourism in Indonesia, particularly in Bali, Malang, and Yogyakarta regions, based on various global user experiences. This dataset is adequate and essential for developing various models of tourism recommender systems such as using Collaborative Filtering.

North American historical monthly spatial climate dataset, 1901-2016.

Project description:We present historical monthly spatial models of temperature and precipitation generated from the North American dataset version "j" from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's) National Centres for Environmental Information (NCEI). Monthly values of minimum/maximum temperature and precipitation for 1901-2016 were modelled for continental United States and Canada. Compared to similar spatial models published in 2006 by Natural Resources Canada (NRCAN), the current models show less error. The Root Generalized Cross Validation (RTGCV), a measure of the predictive error of the surfaces akin to a spatially averaged standard predictive error estimate, averaged 0.94 °C for maximum temperature models, 1.3 °C for minimum temperature and 25.2% for total precipitation. Mean prediction errors for the temperature variables were less than 0.01 °C, using all stations. In comparison, precipitation models showed a dry bias (compared to recorded values) of 0.5 mm or 0.7% of the surface mean. Mean absolute predictive errors for all stations were 0.7 °C for maximum temperature, 1.02 °C for minimum temperature, and 13.3 mm (19.3% of the surface mean) for monthly precipitation.

Paleoenvironmental multiproxy dataset of the Quaternary abandoned channel in Tovises bed, Great Hungarian Plain

Project description:To obtain the multiproxy paleoenvironmental dataset from southeast Great Hungarian Plain (GHP), 345 sediment samples were collected at one cm intervals from the cores retrieved from Tovisies bed paleochannel, and six samples were analyzed for 14C dates. The obtained radiocarbon dates were calibrated to calendar ages using the IntCal20 calibration curve. Bayesian statistics within the R bacon 2.5.8 age-depth modeling package were used to establish the age-depth model and it represented the time frame for the entire dataset. The obtained polymodal grain size distribution (GSD) data was unmixed into four EMs using the AnalySize v.1.2.0 algorithm, employing the built-in General Weibull function which helped explain the dynamicity of the endmembers' sedimentation process. To understand the alluviation history, the endmember abundances were correlated with LOI55, LOI950, and magnetic susceptibility. The dataset presented in this article could be of potential reuse for studying the spatial-temporal environmental changes and in geoarchaeological research, providing insights into how human societies adapted to environmental shifts across the southeast GHP.

A historical dataset of federal government spending changes for Canada.

Project description:This dataset presents a narrative record of all announced federal government spending changes in Canada between 1949q1 and 2012q1. We use the federal government's budget documents, mostly the budget speech, to document announced spending measures. Other budget documents that we use include the Economic Statements, Financial Statements, Mini Budgets, Interim Budgets, and Economic and Budget Updates. We document the motivation behind each announced measure. Based on these motivations, we classify spending changes as exogenous or endogenous. Exogenous changes are those that are not motivated by contemporaneous economic conditions of the country. Endogenous changes are those that are taken in response to current economic conditions. We also document the size of a change, whether it was intended to be temporary or permanent, the duration of the measure, and the size of the measure that was to be implemented in the same year as it is announced. This is the first dataset for any country that comprehensively presents all spending changes undertaken by a government.

The global dataset of historical yields for major crops 1981-2016.

Project description:Knowing the historical yield patterns of major commodity crops, including the trends and interannual variability, is crucial for understanding the current status, potential and risks in food production in the face of the growing demand for food and climate change. We updated the global dataset of historical yields for major crops (GDHY), which is a hybrid of agricultural census statistics and satellite remote sensing, to cover the 36-year period from 1981 to 2016, with a spatial resolution of 0.5°. Four major crops were considered: maize, rice, wheat and soybean. The updated version 1.3 was developed and then aligned with the earlier version 1.2 to ensure the continuity of the yield time series. Comparisons with different global yield datasets and published results demonstrate that the GDHY-aligned version v1.2 + v1.3 dataset is a valuable source of information on global yields. The aligned version dataset enables users to employ an increased number of yield samples for their analyses, which ultimately increases the confidence in their findings.

Historical dataset of osteological and archaeological records for equines on Crete.

Project description:We gathered evidence on the occurrence of equines in the island of Crete from the Neolithic until 1895. We relied on published archaeological and osteological records plus on historical written documents. Our dataset includes a description of the type of evidence, where this was located, and the associated absolute and relative chronologies. The collected data can be used to investigate the past spread of equids in Crete (Equus asinus and Equus caballus), their socioeconomic status, and the development of the local Cretan breed. The dataset is made available via the Abraxas data community within the Pandora data platform. This community is devoted to the historical study of horses. The dataset presented here is a component of a project tracing the history of the Cretan horse until present day.
