Catalog assets¶
It is feasible to sometimes use a machine readable list of catalog assets. While we are going to introduce a STAC catalog again at some point the assets are also available in two specific formats with the total running count above.
JSON format¶
This holds information about the datasets in this structure as a JSON list. If the license is custom for a dataset license text is included to clarify the details. The structure is the following
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | The name of the dataset. |
| Sample Code | A link to a sample script demonstrating how to use the dataset in Google Earth Engine. |
| Type | The type of data (e.g., table). |
| ID | The unique identifier for the dataset in the Earth Engine catalog. |
| Provider | The organization or entity that provides the dataset. |
| Tags | Keywords associated with the dataset to help with search and categorization. |
| License | The licensing terms under which the dataset is provided. |
| License Text | Additional text explaining the license (if applicable). |
| Docs | A link to documentation or more information about the dataset. |
| Thematic Group | The category or group under which the dataset falls (e.g., Oceans and Shorelines, Hydrology). |

CSV Format¶
The CSV file is created using a Github action within the repository and contains all fields in the JSON representation. Fields like license_text if empty for a specific license are left empty.
