large text collection about world-wide Flora taxonomic and morphological descriptions

The file is a RO-CRATE directory offering a text dataset.

The dataset contains 345,061 files, each corresponding to a distinct plant species, and is compressed into a single archive (Flore_PdfFileSpecies.zip). This archive is organized into directories by geographic area. Two complementary archives are also provided, containing OCR-processed text from botanical monographs and data collected from online botanical resources.

In total, three data packages are available:

Flore_PdfFileSpecies.zip – species-specific files generated after OCR segmentation and extraction;

Flore_PdfFileOCR.zip – OCR-processed text extracted from digitized botanical monographs;

Flore_WebFileSpecies.zip – raw data collected from various botanical websites.

ro-crate-metadata.json is a JSON file describing the research object, compliant with the RO-Crate specification. It documents the organization of the files (number of files, subsets, total size, etc.).

ConfidenceLabel.tsv is a tabular (\t as delimiter) metadata file that tags each file with a confidence score (High, Medium, Low).
