| # User Guide: GhanaAgData Registry |
|
|
| ## What this repository is |
|
|
| Master catalogue of discovered Ghanaian agricultural datasets, including open, controlled, restricted, unclear, and metadata-only sources. |
|
|
| ## How to use it |
|
|
| 1. Start with `data/dataset_registry.parquet` to understand source coverage, license status, access class, and limitations. |
| 2. Check `metadata/SOURCE_MANIFEST.json` before using any source-specific file. |
| 3. If `data/source/` exists, those files are copied source payloads that passed this release's redistribution gate. |
| 4. If `data/processed/crop_observations.parquet` exists, use it for long-format analysis with row-level provenance. |
| 5. If a row is controlled, restricted, application-required, or unclear-license, use the metadata and source URL to obtain authorization from the original publisher. Do not treat the row as redistributed data. |
|
