For many researchers, accessing the public API for the COVID-19 Federated Data Image will be enough for their research goals.
We think there will be two types of Level 1 users, those happy with access the Datalake through the publicly available
API, and those who will get a tenant/tag on the DTI C3 deployment to gain full access to the datalake.

Pros:

  • Easy to integrate into existing scientific workflows and run on existing scientific computational hardware
  • Publicly available API means no credentials are needed to access most of the data.
  • Assuming you have access to your own computational resources, you don't have to worry about allocations
    on C3's platform.

Cons:

  • All data used from the Datalake must be streamed to wherever you're processing data
  • Performance benefits from working with the Datalake using C3 will not be available.

Necessary Training

  • Existing COVID-19 API Documentation is excellent. Most users will find this information sufficient.
  • Differences between public API Access and C3 Datalake access. Will help familiarize users with the
    limitations of public API access.
  • No labels
