Occasionally, you'll need to update the GeoDa Data and Lab page with a new data file. This site holds the sample data for the GeoDa tutorials, and additional data that is useful for learning spatial analysis. A list of the datasets corresponding to each GeoDa tutorial can be found on the main CSDS website (may be password-protected).

General steps to add a dataset

  1. First, upload the zipped dataset to our AWS account. Get the login credentials from Julia, log in on the AWS site, go to "S3" > "geoda" > "data", then "Upload" the zipped data file. Make sure to grant public read access to the item in the permissions, but leave all the other settings the same. Once the file is uploaded, click on the item to get the Object URL, which will be the link used to download the data.
  2. Follow the instructions on the gh-pages branch README to document a new dataset.
  3. Update index.html with a new line for the dataset you just added.
