A Snapshot of Online Wildlife Trade: Australian e-commerce trade of native and alien pets

Dataset (titled 'Surface_web_all_abundance_summary_REVISION') summarising the total number of advertisements and animals for each species detected in online trade on Australian surface web e-commerce from 03/12/2019 to 20/03/2020. Additional dataset (titled 'Surface_web_all_location_summary') summarising the total number of advertisements and animals for each region (as designated by e-commerce platforms) from 03/12/2019 to 20/03/2020. Note that not all online listings provided location information. Code sample (titled 'Sample_code_tradeID') for the literal and fuzzy string matching of listings ('online_trade_sample') against a taxonomic reference library ('taxa_name_key_sample').

本数据集命名为「Surface_web_all_abundance_summary_REVISION」，汇总了2019年12月3日至2020年3月20日期间，澳大利亚表层网（surface web）电商平台在线交易中检测到的各物种类别对应的广告总数与交易动物总数量。另一数据集命名为「Surface_web_all_location_summary」，汇总了同期按电商平台划定的各区域对应的广告总数与交易动物总数量，需注意并非所有在线商品列表均提供了区域信息。附带名为「Sample_code_tradeID」的代码示例，用于实现商品列表（'online_trade_sample'）与名为'taxa_name_key_sample'的分类学参考库（taxonomic reference library）之间的字面字符串匹配（literal string matching）与模糊字符串匹配（fuzzy string matching）操作。
