A. Geospatial data – This includes both raster and vector layers. Examples are remotely sensed data such as satellite imagery, digital elevation models, drone imagery, aerial photography, or radar scenes. In addition, any layers that are derived products, such as land cover classifications, road networks, or GPS points.
B. Technical tools – This includes scripts, classification libraries, and algorithms. Examples are models that calculate accessibility using a road network, or python scripts that generate land cover layers.
C. Finished products – This includes analytical reports, technical documentation and maps. Examples are methodology write-ups, a White Paper, peer reviewed article, or a production quality map.
