Open Dinosaur Project

What is the ODP?

The ODP (Open Dinosaur Project) is a collaborative research effort, focused on developing a comprehensive database of limb bone measurements for dinosaurs. By collaborative, we truly mean it – anyone is allowed to contribute to the database. We will focus on measurements in the literature as well as “original” measurements taken directly from specimens. For Phase I of the project, we will use the data to look at patterns of limb bone evolution in ornithischian dinosaurs, and how it relates to the evolution of locomotion in this group. Preliminary results and analyses will be blogged at this website, and all participants will be included as junior authors on the resulting scientific paper, unless they request otherwise.

1-year dump of English Wikipedia article ratings. The dataset includes 47,207,448 records corresponding to 11,801,862 unique ratings posted between July 22, 2011 and July 22, 2012.

The Wikimedia Foundation has been experimenting with a feature to capture reader quality assessments of articles since September 2010. Article Feedback v4 (AFTv4) is a tool allowing readers to rate the quality of an article along 4 different dimensions. The tool has been deployed on the entire English Wikipedia (except for a small number of articles) since July 22, 2011. A new version of the tool, focused on feedback instead of ratings (AFTv5), has been tested in 2012 and deployed to a 10% random sample of articles from the English Wikipedia in July 2012.

Since launching the tool in September 2010, we've continually analyzed the results; see the Research reports, including specific analyses of the call to action and rater expertise.

As of AFTv5, all research reports are hosted on Meta.

This 1-year dump of anonymized rating data was originally made available for download from the DataHub. Real-time rating data can also be accessed via the toolserver.

In the summer of 2024, the District of Columbia migrated its FOIA records management to a new system. This dataset houses the archived Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to DC Government by various organizations and individuals -received beginning September 2, 2014 through June 14, 2024. FOIA request that did not close prior to June 14, 2024 were migrated to the new system in July 2024. Their original dates and status remain the same within this archive. Updated information for any outstanding migrated FOIA requests can be cross-referenced in the FOIA Legacy Crossover dataset that is also found on Open Data DC.

This layer has been updated with an improved version available here. When severe weather occurs in the United States, there are networks of humans and sensors that observe and report the events and their details to the National Weather Service. These storm reports are aggregated and archived by NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information. With over 1.7 million records over 70 years, the Storm Events Database is the most comprehensive, official record of severe weather in the U.S. This layer is a simplified version of the full database, providing information on:DateLocationEvent TypeNumber of injuries and deathsEstimated property damageEvent/episode summariesFor related archives of weather information, please see the Windstorm Points and Paths, Hailstorm Points and Paths, and Historical Hurricane layers.Data caveatsPer NCEI, the "National Weather Service receives their information from a variety of sources, which include but are not limited to: county, state and federal emergency management officials, local law enforcement officials, skywarn spotters, NWS damage surveys, newspaper clipping services, the insurance industry and the general public, among others." However, these sources are all population-dependent, and many severe weather events are assumed to not be reported in areas of low population. Not only does this bias occur across space, but also across time as many areas had lower populations in the mid-20th Century, and more advanced networks and reporting methods have evolved with technology.

ABSTRACT A retrospective study was undertaken in an old Mountain Pine Beetle (MPB) attacked forest to gain insight in stand dynamics post-beetle attack. Extent of mortality, regeneration delay, release of advance regeneration and other surviving residual trees and post-beetle stand growth was determined. Five plots were established in each of 22 stands representing a range of MPB attack intensity. Pre-attack basal area varied between 29 and 58 m2 ha-1. The percent of basal area killed by beetles varied from 42 to 100% with most stands between 60 and 80%. Six stands exceeded 80% basal area mortality and 3 stands were below 60% mortality. In 2007, twenty-five to 30 years after attack basal area varied between 4 and 51 m2 ha-1. Five stands, ranging in mortality at time of attack from 51 to 79%, had fully recovered their pre-attack stand basal area. Four stands, ranging in mortality at time of attack from 68 to 100%, had poor basal area recovery. Growth release on surviving trees exhibited species and size variability. Release of surviving lodgepole pine trees was often dramatic. Recruitment of new regeneration post-beetle attack was often, but not always, delayed by 5-10 years. Densities of post-beetle regeneration were often high in 2007. Based on age of understory trees in 2007, there was little advance regeneration in these forests at the time of the beetle attack.

ABSTRACT Dendrochronological analyses were conducted across a gradient of productivity and soil drainage quality characterizing four vegetation types in a low-productivity hypermaritime (perhumid) temperate rainforest on the Central Coast of British Columbia, Canada. We examined the structure, composition, and stand dynamics of trees growing in 400 m2 plots located in blanket bog, bog woodland, bog forest, and zonal forest vegetation types. We sampled over 2500 trees and 1500 seedlings and saplings and our dendrochronological reconstruction of six tree species revealed establishment ages extending to 660 A.D. (1350 yr). All forest plots contained numerous old trees (>250 yr) and the zonal forest and bog forest vegetation types contained significantly taller trees and also had the greatest amount of suppressed, shade-tolerant tree species. The bog woodland vegetation type contained more seedlings and saplings than the other three vegetation types combined. The bog forest vegetation type had the highest density of dead standing trees (~530 per hectare). Blanket bogs contained an open structure with very few old trees (>250 yr). Significant differences in the ages of trees existed between forested vegetation types and the more open blanket bog vegetation type. Several trees exceeded 1000 yr in age and were situated in lower-productivity bog forest and bog woodland sites. We found no evidence of widespread tree cohort establishment, indicating that small-scale disturbances such as individual tree mortality and gap-forming dynamics are likely the most frequent disturbance in the study area.

ABSTRACT We sampled second-growth forests ranging in age from 28 to 98 years and compared them with old-growth forests to quantify rates of terrestrial vegetation recovery following harvesting on the northcentral coast of British Columbia. Species richness approximately doubles, while Simpson’s index of diversity increases from 0.81 to 0.91 from young to old forests. Nonmetric multidimensional scaling ordinations showed differentiation, with some overlap, of old-growth and second-growth forests and a fairly strong correlation of stand age with plot scores, driven by plant species presence and cover. Vegetation succession following logging disturbance is driven primarily by predisturbance species composition; most species found in the young forests are present in old forests and the higher species richness typical of old growth is largely due to the establishment of additional cryptogam and herb species of low cover and constancy. Significantly higher cover of shrub, herb, and bryophyte species differentiates old forests from second-growth forests. Forests 41–100 years old average 63%–73% similarity (depending on site type) to old-growth forests based on species presence–absence and 53%–58% similarity based on species cover. The scarcity of western redcedar (Thuja plicata Donn ex D. Don) in second-growth stands is of particular concern because of the high ecological, cultural, and economic importance of this tree species.
