Dataset result of the research paper "A Categorization of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations: The Case of the Aragon Platform" published in IEEE Transactions on Computational Social Systems. The paper proposes an empirically grounded categorization of DAOs in terms of their operative domain, purpose, scope, voting processes, and use of crypto-tokens. The categorization was applied to 40 DAO communities hosted in the Aragon platform, analyzing 15 dimensions in each of them. Further details on the variables and the annotation process are described in the paper. Recommended citation for the article: Peña-Calvin, A., Saldivar, J., Arroyo, J., & Hassan, S. (2023).
