Global Biotic Interactions: Elton Dataset Cache iNaturalist

<p>Global Biotic Interactions: Elton Dataset Cache iNaturalist</p><p>The intended use of this archive/cache is to allow for offline-enabled access to versions of existing species interaction datasets provided by iNaturalist. The program "Elton" (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.998263) was used to populate the content of elton-datasets.tar.gz . The same program can be used to extract information from the cache archive also. Global Biotic Interactions (https://globalbioticinteractions.org,&nbsp;https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoinf.2014.08.005) also uses these archives to create derived species interaction data archives, search indexes&nbsp;and APIs.</p><p>To get offline-enabled access to versions of other species interactions datasets, please see Global Biotic Interactions: Elton Dataset Cache at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.2007418 .</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Contents</p><p>--------</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>README: the first part of this file</p><p>elton-datasets.tar.gz:versioned archive with species interaction datasets</p><p>elton-datasets.tar.sha256:content signature of elton-datasets.tar</p><p>elton-datasets.tsv:list of included datasets</p><p>elton.jar:commandline program to help access the species interaction datasets</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Usage</p><p>-----</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>To install, extract elton-datasets.tar.gz into a directory of choice using:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>tar xfz elton-dataset.tar.gz</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>To use, download elton.jar included&nbsp;this publication and execute the following to get a list of available datasets:</p><p>java -Xmx4G -jar elton.jar datasets</p><p>on a system that has java v8+ installed.</p><p>If all goes well, you should be able to regenerate the included file elton-dataset.tsv .</p><p>For more information on how to use elton.jar, execute:</p><p>java -jar elton.jar usage</p><p>or visit https://github.com/globalbioticinteractions/elton for more available commands.</p><p>Alternatively, without using Elton, you can access the data by inspecting the access.tsv files in the various directories of the datasets directory.</p><p>When using these datasets in a publication or product, please cite the *original* data providers and publications.
