Naturkompass Citizen Science Data Model: A Privacy-Conscious Data Model for Garden Biodiversity Observations

This record contains a methodological technical report documenting the Naturkompass citizen-science data model for garden biodiversity observations. Naturkompass is a biodiversity knowledge, education and participation platform for private gardens, urban green spaces and small-scale habitat mosaics. This report describes how voluntary garden-related observations, habitat modules, plant inventory entries, user-controlled consent states, spatial generalisation and aggregation thresholds are structured in the Naturkompass citizen-science layer. The document is not a peer-reviewed journal article and does not present final empirical results. It should be understood as a citable methodological white paper documenting the current public-facing citizen-science data model of Naturkompass.
