Connect Data

The data for this project comes from Open Data Zurich website and is titled “Daily updated air quality measurements, since 1983”.

For this project, we have stored a copy of the data in a publicly accessible folder that you can link to your Renku project.

Here's how to connect this dataset to your Renku project:

  1. On the project page, click on + in the Data section
  2. Click on + Create a Data Connector
  3. Choose PolyBox, select Shared Folder and click on Next.
  4. Paste this public link: https://polybox.ethz.ch/index.php/s/6EsHI6MF83mg52o
  5. Click Test connection, and then Continue.
  6. Fill in the final details:
    1. For Name: enter Zurich Air Quality Data
    2. Leave Owner, Visibility, Mounting point unchanged
    3. Check the Read-Only checkbox, because the data is read-only.
  7. Click + Add Connector

2.1 (optional) Connect a storage space to save your work​

The data connector we added in the previous step is for an existing dataset, and that storage is read-only. If you would like to be able to save the work you do in your Renku session, add a data connector for a storage where you'd like to save that work. For example, you might use a Switchdrive or PolyBox folder, or an S3 bucket.
