hepa-corpus v1 - license & provenance audit

Audited: 2026-08-05T11:15:32+00:00
Source repo: autogluon/chronos_datasets
Exclusion rule applied before auditing: drop training_corpus_* (synthetic) and weatherbench_hourly_* (14 configs)
Hard gate: a source may ship in the public Forgis/hepa-corpus repo only if its license permits redistribution and research/open-science use. Anything ambiguous is EXCLUDE or LINK_ONLY (referenced, never re-hosted).

Provenance table

source domain origin link license redistributable verdict rationale
dominick retail Kilts Center for Marketing, University of Chicago Booth School of Business (Dominick's Finer Foods store-level scanner data) proprietary-academic-use-only no EXCLUDE Kilts Center states 'These data are for academic research purposes only' with no redistribution grant; Monash's CC-BY-4.0 Zenodo re-deposit (10.5281/zenodo.4654802) cannot cure the upstream owner's restriction, so we do not re-host.
electricity_15min energy UCI Machine Learning Repository, ElectricityLoadDiagrams20112014 (donated by Artur Trindade) CC-BY-4.0 yes INCLUDE UCI dataset page states 'Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)'; matches the license declared in the autogluon dataset info.
ercot energy Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) public grid load data ERCOT-Terms-of-Use (redistribution expressly permitted) yes INCLUDE ERCOT Terms of Use section 5: 'The publicly available contents of this website may be used, reproduced, and redistributed' and 'raw data provided in public portions of this website may be used, reproduced, and redistributed in compilations, charts, and analyses'; attribution to ERCOT must be preserved.
exchange_rate econ laiguokun/multivariate-time-series-data (LSTNet, Lai et al. 2017); ultimate source of the daily FX rates is not stated by the publisher unknown no EXCLUDE The autogluon card claims MIT but the source repository has NO LICENSE file (GitHub license API returns 404) and its README names no upstream FX data provider; UNVERIFIED -> EXCLUDE.

The origin the autogluon card points at (github.com/Mcompetitions/M4-methods) has NO LICENSE file; the only citable license for these exact series is Monash's CC-BY-4.0 Zenodo deposit of the M4 data.
m5 retail Walmart, distributed via the Kaggle M5 Forecasting - Accuracy competition unknown (Kaggle competition rules, not retrievable) no EXCLUDE Proprietary Walmart retail data released only under Kaggle competition rules; the rules page is JavaScript-gated and could not be retrieved, so no redistribution grant can be cited. UNVERIFIED -> EXCLUDE. Kaggle's standard competition-data clause is non-commercial and participant-scoped in any case.
mexico_city_bikes traffic Ecobici / SEMOVI, Gobierno de la Ciudad de Mexico (bike-share open data) unknown no EXCLUDE The Ecobici open-data page and its terms-and-conditions page state no license, no reuse grant and no named open-data licence; the CDMX open-data portal terms page was unreachable. UNVERIFIED -> EXCLUDE.
monash_australian_electricity energy Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) half-hourly state demand, via the R tsibbledata package; deposited by Godahewa et al. (Monash TSF Repository) CC-BY-4.0 yes INCLUDE Zenodo record registers CC-BY-4.0 with DataCite (verified via the DataCite DOI API). FLAG: upstream chain of title runs through AEMO market data and a GPL-3 R package; the licensing basis is Monash's CC-BY-4.0 assertion.
monash_car_parts retail Car-parts sales series from Hyndman's R expsmooth package; deposited by Godahewa et al. CC-BY-4.0 yes INCLUDE Zenodo record registers CC-BY-4.0 with DataCite. Upstream is the expsmooth R package (GPL-3, itself redistributable), so no conflicting restriction is known.

CC-BY-4.0 yes INCLUDE Zenodo record registers CC-BY-4.0 with DataCite. FLAG: the CIF 2016 competition itself publishes no license; the licensing basis is Monash's CC-BY-4.0 assertion.
monash_covid_deaths other Johns Hopkins University CSSE COVID-19 Data Repository; deposited by Godahewa et al. CC-BY-4.0 yes INCLUDE Clean chain of title: JHU CSSE explicitly licenses its COVID-19 data under CC-BY-4.0, and the Monash Zenodo deposit is likewise CC-BY-4.0.

monash_fred_md econ FRED-MD macroeconomic database (McCracken & Ng), Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis; re-deposited by Godahewa et al. on Zenodo conflicting: Zenodo says CC-BY-4.0, but FRED legal terms restrict third-party series no EXCLUDE FRED's legal terms forbid redistributing third-party proprietary content without the copyright holder's written permission and require permission for 'pre-approval required' copyrighted series, and the St. Louis Fed states it cannot grant permission on their behalf; FRED-MD aggregates such third-party series. Monash's CC-BY-4.0 re-deposit cannot cure this, so we do not re-host. Lead judgment requested.
monash_hospital other Patient-count series from Hyndman's R expsmooth package; deposited by Godahewa et al. CC-BY-4.0 yes INCLUDE Zenodo record registers CC-BY-4.0 with DataCite; upstream is the expsmooth R package (GPL-3, redistributable).

Lead judgment requested.

Notes

  • CONDITIONAL entries (m4_*, nn5, solar, solar_1h): the license basis is a Monash Time Series Forecasting Repository deposit on Zenodo (CC-BY-4.0, verified via the DataCite DOI API), not the origin the autogluon dataset card points at, which carries no license. These must be re-sourced from Zenodo and attributed to Godahewa et al. (2021) before shipping.
  • FLAG entries: the Monash Zenodo record asserts CC-BY-4.0, but the upstream chain of title runs through a competition, a commercial platform, or an agency that publishes no standalone data license. We rely on Monash's assertion; this is recorded here so the risk is visible rather than silent.
  • Every license verdict above cites a URL that was actually fetched during the audit; per-row evidence lists are in license_audit_v1.json under evidence_checked.
  • Attribution obligations that must appear in the corpus README: CC-BY-4.0 credit for every Monash/Zenodo, UCI, mediaTUM/WeatherBench and JHU CSSE derived source; the Copernicus notice for WeatherBench; ERCOT attribution; and the Menne et al. (2009) citation for USHCN.
