This table is an extended version of Table 10 of the manuscript. C3_legends.xls : Harmonized multi-year legend from native C3 documents LUCAS-Variable_and_Classification_Changes.xlsx : a table providing documentation for users to quickly identify the differences between yearly LUCAS campaigns and the harmonised database. It contains 4 sheets: 1) “References” : Description and a legend of the used colors of the different sheets; 2) “Harmonised DB”: a comparison of all the collected variables of the 2018 survey with the variables of the harmonized database and an overview of the actions to harmonize the data; 3) “Variable changes”: an overview/ comparison of all collected variables between all campaigns from 2009 to 2018 highlighting the changes; 4) “LC (LU) changes” an overview of the possible LC and LU codes of each campaign highlighting the changes. -------------------------- 4_mappings: INPUT DATA FOR HARMONISATION : -------------------------- *year*_lucas_harmo_allVars.csv : separate file for each year (2006,2009,2012,2015,2018), containing the mapping done between native variable alpha-numerical encoding and the respective label columnRename.csv : CSV for mappings column renaming RecodeVars.csv : CSV for mappings variable recoding manChangeVars.csv : CSV containing a mapping table for manually changed variables
