== Datasets available on the LinkedEarth wiki ==

In answering  this question, remember that all the datasets on the wiki are public. The LinkedEarth team is considering adding a feature where a dataset could be uploaded and kept private until publication for use with codes and softwares but this feature is not yet available. 

<poll>
Should the LinkedEarth wiki contain datasets:
That have been published in peer-reviewed journals only
Both in peer-reviewed and non-peer reviewed publications (e.g. Dissertation)
Published as well as "old" datasets (a dataset the PI hasn't gone around to publish, probably never will but could be useful to the community)
</poll>

* Simon Goring: "I would think that legacy data would be any data contributed that doesn't meet up with "new" standards." [https://twitter.com/sjGoring/status/795723135639113730 Twitter link]
* Kaustubh Thirumalai: "In the current stage of LinkedEarth - pre-digitization IMO. e.g. "Legacy Seismic" = data on tapes" [https://twitter.com/holy_kau/status/795756493190680576 Twitter link]
