I turned a game's official Nuxt payload into a 130-species dataset and a 1,221-pair co-habitation matrix

说明与用途

使用 Nuxt 负载构建了 130 种 Planet Zoo 2 数据集和 1,221 对共居矩阵，并在 GitHub、Zenodo 上发布并使用 JSON‑LD 进行结构化标记。

问题

Planet Zoo 2 provides no public API to answer which animals ship, their needs, and which can share an enclosure before launch.

结果

A publicly available, CC BY 4.0 dataset of 130 Planet Zoo 2 species and a 1,221‑pair co‑habitation matrix, with clear provenance and a DOI for citation.

工作流

• 1. Inspect the serialized payload on an animal page and note its flat array structure.
• 2. Write a 20‑line resolver in Python that dereferences integer indices, guards against booleans and cycles.
• 3. Extract every Zoopedia slug, run the resolver, and flatten each record into CSV columns.
• 4. Compile the 130‑species table, noting species, biomes, enclosure types, conservation status, etc.
• 5. Generate all 130 choose 2 pairs, filter by shared biome and enclosure type to 1,221 candidates.
• 6. Parse the Social & Reproduction prose for each species and apply rules: solitary → no, both social/mixed → likely, otherwise unverified.
• 7. Store the verdict and source sentence for each pair.
• 8. Publish the dataset as CSV/JSON on GitHub, archive on Zenodo with a DOI, and embed JSON‑LD on the site for discoverability.
• 9. Provide a browsable site with sortable tables and clear separation of extracted facts and inferred verdicts.

Over the 1,221 pairs that gives 376 likely, 106 unverified, 739 no.

The dataset is archived on Zenodo, so "how do I cite this" has an answer that is not a URL that might rot: 10.5281/zenodo.23263613.
