Standardized data from Mobilise-D participants (YAR dataset) and pre-existing datasets (ICICLE, MSIPC2, Gait in Lab and real-life settings, MS project, UNISS-UNIGE) are provided in the shared folder, as an example of the procedures proposed in the publication "Mobility recorded by wearable devices and gold standards: the Mobilise-D procedure for data standardization" that is currently under review in Scientific data. Please refer to that publication for further information. Please cite that publication if using these data.

The code to standardize an example subject (for the ICICLE dataset) and to open the standardized Matlab files in other languages (Python, R) is available in github (https://github.com/luca-palmerini/Procedure-wearable-data-standardization-Mobilise-D).

The Seed Information Database (SER, INSR & RBGK 2023) provides user-friendly access to information on seed weight, storage behaviour, germination requirements, and other traits for more than 50,000 plant taxa.

Here I provide a dataset where these taxa were standardized to World Flora Online (Borsch et al. 2020; taxonomic backbone version 2023.12) or the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (Govaerts et al. 2021, version 11) by matching names with those in the Agroforestry Species Switchboard (Kindt et al. 2025; version 4). Taxa for which no matches could be found were standardized with the WorldFlora package (Kindt 2020), using similar R scripts and the same taxonomic backbone data (WFO; WCVP when no acceptable match was found) as those used to standardize species names for the Switchboard.

Additional fields indicate whether a species was flagged as a tree in the Switchboard, and the lifeform obtained from the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (Govaerts et al. 2021, version 11).
