3. Past Usage:
The hierarchical decision model, from which this dataset is
derived, was first presented in
M. Olave, V. Rajkovic, M. Bohanec: An application for admission in
public school systems. In (I. Th. M. Snellen and W. B. H. J. van de
Donk and J.-P. Baquiast, editors) Expert Systems in Public
Administration, pages 145-160. Elsevier Science Publishers (North
Holland)}, 1989.
Within machine-learning, this dataset was used for the evaluation
of HINT (Hierarchy INduction Tool), which was proved to be able to
completely reconstruct the original hierarchical model. This,
together with a comparison with C4.5, is presented in
B. Zupan, M. Bohanec, I. Bratko, J. Demsar: Machine learning by
function decomposition. ICML-97, Nashville, TN. 1997 (to appear)
4. Relevant Information Paragraph:
Nursery Database was derived from a hierarchical decision model
originally developed to rank applications for nursery schools. It
was used during several years in 1980's when there was excessive
enrollment to these schools in Ljubljana, Slovenia, and the
rejected applications frequently needed an objective
explanation. The final decision depended on three subproblems:
occupation of parents and child's nursery, family structure and
financial standing, and social and health picture of the family.
The model was developed within expert system shell for decision
making DEX (M. Bohanec, V. Rajkovic: Expert system for decision
making. Sistemica 1(1), pp. 145-157, 1990.).
The hierarchical model ranks nursery-school applications according
to the following concept structure:
NURSERY Evaluation of applications for nursery schools
. EMPLOY Employment of parents and child's nursery
. . parents Parents' occupation
. . has_nurs Child's nursery
. STRUCT_FINAN Family structure and financial standings
. . STRUCTURE Family structure
. . . form Form of the family
. . . children Number of children
. . housing Housing conditions
. . finance Financial standing of the family
. SOC_HEALTH Social and health picture of the family
. . social Social conditions
. . health Health conditions
Input attributes are printed in lowercase. Besides the target
concept (NURSERY) the model includes four intermediate concepts:
EMPLOY, STRUCT_FINAN, STRUCTURE, SOC_HEALTH. Every concept is in
the original model related to its lower level descendants by a set
of examples (for these examples sets see
http://www-ai.ijs.si/BlazZupan/nursery.html).
The Nursery Database contains examples with the structural
information removed, i.e., directly relates NURSERY to the eight input
attributes: parents, has_nurs, form, children, housing, finance,
social, health.
Because of known underlying concept structure, this database may be
particularly useful for testing constructive induction and
structure discovery methods.

ROCrate
What is a RO-Crate?
A RO-Crate is a standardized research object package used to bundle data together with rich machine-readable metadata. Each RO-Crate contains:
- the files belonging to the dataset (e.g. CSVs, images, code, documentation)
- a ro-crate-metadata.json file describing the content, provenance, and context
- persistent identifiers and references to related research objects (e.g. software, publications)
This ensures that the dataset can be easily reused, cited, validated, and interpreted in a reproducible manner. More information can be found here.

HINT: The RO-Crate is created dynamically, so it could take up to 30 seconds until the downloads starts.
