Roadmap

• Add ETL scripts for automated retrieval and cleaning of GBIF, Laji.fi, and COCONUT datasets
• Provide a small reproducible test dataset for CI and demo purposes
• Expand CI workflow (unit tests, schema validation with Pandera)
• Optimize data loading and performance for larger datasets
• Add more interactive visualizations in the Streamlit app

⚠️ Note

Processed data files are expected under data/. Some data sources (Laji.fi, COCONUT) may require manual export. ETL scripts will be added in a future update.
