Oxford Histological Index for Bioerosion Scoring

A scoring index for quantifying the extent of bioerosion observed in sample cross-sections, following the methodology of Millard [27]. The dataset was authored by Damla Kaptan and is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license. It was last updated on 2026-05-27.

Use Cases

• Score bioerosion intensity in sample cross-sections based on the Oxford Histological Index.
• Standardize bioerosion quantification for comparative studies across different samples.
• Train or validate models for automated bioerosion assessment from histological images.

Strengths

• The dataset is a specific, standardized scoring index (Oxford Histological Index) for a defined scientific task.
• It is published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for wide reuse.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small (5.5 KB), indicating limited scope and likely a single reference table or scoring guide.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
