OpenDengue V1.2

The OpenDengue project aims to build and maintain a database of dengue case counts for every dengue-affected country worldwide since 1990. We collate data from a range of publicly available sources including ministry of health websites, peer-reviewed publications and other disease databases.The complete details, methodologies, and findings associated with this dataset are available in our research paper [URL to be confirmed].The latest database is available on our OpenDengue website (https://opendengue.org/data.html). Past and current versions are also available in the Opendengue Github repository (https://github.com/OpenDengue/master-repo).<b>File descriptor</b><b>Global summaries of data</b>: We provide three global summaries of the data in OpenDengue. We provide the best national estimate (<b>National_extract_v1_2.csv</b>), the best temporal resolution (<b>Temporal_extract_v1_2.csv</b>) and the best spatial resolution (<b>Spatial_extract_v1_2.csv</b>). This allows users to customise their data extraction based on their research question. Each row in the data table contains a unique, non-overlapping location and time period with the associated dengue case data. The below codebook describes each variable.adm_0_name : administrative level 0/country nameadm_1_name : administrative level 1 nameadm_2_name : administrative level 2 namefull_name : full place nameISO_A0 : ISO country codeFAO_GAUL_code : Food and Agricultural Organization Global Administrative Unit Layer CodeRNE_iso_code : RNaturalEarth ISO codeIBGE_code : Brazilian Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE) codecalendar_start_date : the start date in calendar time with the format YYYY-mm-ddcalendar_end_date : the end date in calendar time with the format YYYY-mm-ddYear : yeardengue_total : the total dengue case count relating to the period and place (see dengue classification protocol and dengue double count protocol)case_definition_standardised : case definition after standardisationS_res : spatial resolutionT_res : temporal resolutionUUID : Universal Unique Identifier relating to the source file from which the data originates<b>2.</b><b> </b><b>Source files (source_files_V1.2.zip)</b>: These source files contain the raw data used in the creation of the OpenDengue database and can be accessed by their UUIDs.<b>3.
