Provenance — legends, harmonisation tables and build scripts
The machine-readable tables the catalog README refers to, and the scripts that build this catalog from the raw MapBiomas country exports. legends.json holds the official legend for each of the ten countries as transcribed from the national Legend Code PDFs. observed_classes.json holds the class histogram of every source raster - the evidence used to establish which MapBiomas collection each country-year belongs to. harmonization.csv is the three-tier crosswalk documented in the catalog README. This collection holds no raster data.
Every Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFF this collection declares is served by the bucket. Checked against a list_objects_v2 listing kept in tools/remote-listing.json.
