Introduction to the Environmental Big Data Platform
Introduction
The Environmental Big Data Platform offers an environmental data market, visualization, educational services, and competitions. Although it’s called a market, there’s a lot of free data available, and the UI and data descriptions are clear, making it user-friendly. It uniquely holds a comprehensive and diverse range of environmental data.
Requirements
Login is required, and users must state their purpose each time they obtain data. While it seems that one needs to purchase data separately as it’s a market, not a hub, it’s admittedly inconvenient to receive data in bulk. However, access is not overly complicated, and the availability of sample data previews, schema definitions, and simple visualizations adds convenience.
Data Examples
Most data is available in *.csv format.
