Deep learning models are increasingly data-hungry, requiring significant
resources to collect and compile the datasets needed to train them, with Earth
Observation (EO) models being no exception. However, the landscape of datasets
in EO is relatively atomised, with interoperability made difficult by diverse
formats and data structures. If ever larger datasets are to be built, and
duplication of effort minimised, then a shared framework that allows users to
combine and access multiple datasets is needed. Here, Major TOM (Terrestrial
Observation Metaset) is proposed as this extensible framework. Primarily, it
consists of a geographical indexing system based on a set of grid points and a
metadata structure that allows multiple datasets with different sources to be
merged. Besides the specification of Major TOM as a framework, this work also
presents a large, open-access dataset, MajorTOM-Core, which covers the vast
majority of the Earth's land surface. This dataset provides the community with
both an immediately useful resource, as well as acting as a template for future
additions to the Major TOM ecosystem. Access: this https URL

提出终端观察元集 (Major TOM) 作为一种可扩展的框架，该框架包含基于一组网格点的地理索引系统和允许合并具有不同来源的多个数据集的元数据结构。此外，还提供了一个名为 MajorTOM-Core 的大型开放访问数据集，该数据集涵盖了地球陆地表面的绝大部分，为研究社区提供了一个有用的资源和未来 Major TOM 生态系统的模板。

Masader (Alyafeai et al., 2021) created a metadata structure to be used for
cataloguing Arabic NLP datasets. However, developing an easy way to explore
such a catalogue is a challenging task. In order to give the optimal experience
for users and researchers exploring the catalogue, several design and user
experience challenges must be resolved. Furthermore, user interactions with the
website may provide an easy approach to improve the catalogue. In this paper,
we introduce Masader Plus, a web interface for users to browse Masader. We
demonstrate data exploration, filtration, and a simple API that allows users to
examine datasets from the backend. Masader Plus can be explored using this link
this https URL. A video recording explaining the interface can
be found here this https URL.
