A new feature called the Asset Repo has now been added to DataLabs which is fully operational. The goal of this is to curate a central set of datasets and links which are useful to the community. The main points can be found below;
- A new tab called Asset Repo is now accessible in the Top Bar of DataLabs which contains a list of curated datasets.
- Datasets can either be made public to the entire community or restricted to one or a number of projects depending on the need.
- "Assets" can be made available directly within either Notebooks or Sites in a read-only fashion.
Main Features
- "Assets" can either be made public to all users, or restricted to specific projects if needed.
- Additional datasets will be added as requested which benefit the user community.
- This feature represents a way both to request popular datasets which we can host a copy of for the whole community, but also to share specific datasets between internal DataLabs projects.
In order to get things rolling we have added the following datasets which are now available for all users;
- Land Cover Change 1990-2015 (25m raster, GB) (https://doi.org/10.5285/07b6e5e9-b766-48e5-a28c-5b3e35abecc0)
- Land Cover Change 1990-2015 (25m raster, N. Ireland) (https://doi.org/10.5285/a747aa7a-c875-42e1-ac31-984f6571f446)
- Land Cover Map 2020 (10m classified pixels, GB) (https://doi.org/10.5285/35c7d0e5-1121-4381-9940-75f7673c98f7)
- Land Cover Map 2020 (25m rasterised land parcels, GB) (https://doi.org/10.5285/6c22cf6e-b224-414e-aa85-900325baedbd)
Guidance on how to attach them to existing notebooks and access them directly from notebooks/sites can be found on the following page https://datalab-docs.datalabs.ceh.ac.uk/howto/use-the-asset-repo/index.html.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In many cases the data held within DataLabs will be a copy of a dataset held within EIDC or another source repository. If this is the case a DOI will be listed on the Asset Repo entry which can be used to see the raw data page as well as information on how to cite the data if necessary.
