The data assembled in the CSV originally came from the "Study Results" and "Study Design Data" tables in the associated USGS Dam Removal Science Database (reference item associations in the ScienceBase item). That table went through a number of offline processing steps that will be formalized into code at a later time to produce a derivative that contained the featureuri reference to dam removals in the Spatial Feature Registry and the citationuri reference to published reports in the Research Reference Library as persistent identifiers used throughout the National Dam Removal Science Database. Final processing steps to produce the initial iteration of a usable standalone table were executed through OpenRefine and are captured in a JSON file attached with this ScienceBase item. Those steps changed column names to provide direct URL references to the ScienceBase Vocabulary where the Dam Removal terms are defined.
