This is a large and complex data set, and the GT LIbrary will continue to evolve its support for the product. We are currently at Phase 0.
Phase 0: Spring 2021
- A Data Scientist Librarian will mediate and provide access to the data. End-users are responsible for abiding by the terms and conditions for access and use and developing their own infrastructure to analyze the file. (See code examples below).
- To request access to the data please contact jay.forrest@library.gatech.edu.
Phase 1: Summer/Fall 2025 (estimate)
- Data access will provided by direct download via a web portal. End-users will be responsible for abiding by the terms and conditions for access and use and developing their own infrastructure to analyze the file. (See code examples below).
Phase 2: Fall 2025/Spring 2026 (estimate)
- Data access will be provided by direct download and via a database solution. End-users will be responsible for abiding by the terms and conditions for access and use. End-users will be able to use their own infrastructure or create structured queries via the database solution.
- The Library will provide end-user training for the database solution.
