hydrolink - python package hydrolink - python package
The term hydrolink is being defined as the linkage of spatial data to a stream network. This is similar to the analogy of providing an address on a road network and provides locational context and position within a stream network. Hydrolinking data to a common stream network allows information to be centralized helping support landscape scale analyses and modeling efforts. Versions of...

Understanding how data are used across the scientific community provides many benefits to data authors, including building a better awareness and comprehension of 1) a dataset's scientific impact, 2) use cases to direct future versions, and 3) related efforts. Effectively tracking when and how data are used in the literature through time can be challenging. This is in part due to a lack...
