## Appendix B: User Adoption Survey {#appendix-b-user-adoption-survey}
23
-
24
-
As part of the GeoCroissant specification process, a user study was conducted to understand which metadata fields practitioners consider most important for spatial machine learning and GeoAI workflows.

### Summary of Responses
37
-
38
-
Most spatial ML metadata fields received an average rating of "Important." No fields were rated "Very unimportant."
39
-
40
-
Across both spatial and non-spatial categories, **description** was consistently ranked as the most important field. Respondents noted that a good description provides the essential context needed to interpret and responsibly use a dataset — covering provenance, background, assumptions, and limitations.

### Key Takeaways
53
-
54
-
ML respondents prioritised core reuse and access metadata — especially **license** and **distribution** format, followed by **name** and **URL**.
Overall, users most value metadata that clarifies dataset usability, legal reuse, and the geospatial and labelling characteristics needed to reliably integrate datasets into spatial ML workflows.
