__________________________________ EuroCrops is a dataset collection combining all publicly available self-declared crop reporting datasets from countries of the European Union. The raw data obtained from the countries does not come in a unified, machine-readable taxonomy. We, therefore, developed a new Hierarchical Crop and Agriculture Taxonomy (HCAT) that harmonises all declared crops across the European Union. In the shapefiles you'll find these as additional attributes: Hamonisation with HCAT Attribute Name Explanation EC_trans_n The original crop name translated into English EC_hcat_n The machine-readable HCAT name of the crop EC_hcat_c The 10-digit HCAT code indicating the hierarchy of the crop Participating countries Find detailed information for all countries of the European Union in our GitHub Wiki, especially the countries represented in EuroCrops: Austria Belgium Germany Denmark Estonia Spain France Croatia Lithuania Latvia Netherlands Portugal Romania Sweden Slovenia Slovakia Please also reference the countries' dependent source in case you're using their data. Changelog Version 4: Add preview of Austrian attribute table for zenodo (no dataset changes) Version 3: Fix wrong class mappings in NL and SK - Pull request #10 issues #7 and #9 Version 2: Fix wrong class mappings in DK - Pull request #5 Version 1: Initial publication
