# Public Folder

This **read-only** folder contains public files shared with all users.

The main purpose of the folder is to share common datasets, such as base vector and raster maps.

If you need such datasets, please send an e-mail to <s.girgin@utwente.nl> with the following information:

- Name of the dataset
- URL address for download

Self-service portal will be available soon to request datasets.

You can find useful information on the platform, such as lists of available packages, feature tests, configuration files, and benchmark results, under the `platform` folder.
