C3 has established the C3 Covid-19 Datalake, a federated datalake containing a multitude of different datasets all related in someway to the Covid-19 pandemic. Public access to the Datalake is granted through a RESTful API interface (See documentation here: https://c3.ai/covid-19-api-documentation/).
While for the public, this provides a rich interface to a large conglomeration of data without the need to integrate multiple databases, Members of the DTI can have more direct access. Behind the C3 Datalake is a C3 package containing the definitions of every Type as well as instructions for how to fetch that data and integrate it into the Datalake's data model.
By learning to use the C3 platform, researchers can leverage many capabilities of the platform such as defining their own Metrics, training machine learning models on C3's platform, and additional helper functions to make navigating the Datalake and data model easier.
Below for the benefit of the DTI researchers, we share an up-to-date diagram of the entire Covid-19 Datalake data model.
Boxes denote a C3 Type defined in the datalake package, while the connecting lines define relationships between the Types. Each box contains a list of properties and in most cases their matching types.
