Datasets Information

Here is an extremely detailed breakdown of all of the original datasets. I have gone through all of my datasets and manually decided which ones would be valuable for grading a value critical infrastructure.

Note that some of these datasets have not clearly defined the meaning of their columns, so there could be some mistakes in my rationalization.

Pretty much all of these datasets were gathered from HIFLD Open Data. These datasets are updated regularly, however, I have found out that the links to these datasets will ofthen change or even get deleted entirely. I will try to keep it as up-to-date as possible.
