A database of reviewed datasets to investigate the use of metadata and adoption of metadata standards for Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) data

The database was developed as part of a research project investigating the use and adoption of metadata standards for UAV (Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle) data. It compiles a list of published datasets containing UAV data or products generated based on UAV data identified through a systematic search of public data repositories. The search covered established data platforms, including DANS, 4TU.ResearchData, DataONE Science Data Bank, DRYAD, Figshare and Zenodo. In addition, a broader internet search using search engines such as Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing, and Perplexity was conducted to identify other publicly accessible UAV datasets. Only datasets with a persistent identifier, such as a DOI (Digital Object Identifier), were included.
