HoloFood data in public archives – practical session

In this hands-on session, we will learn about the HoloFood Data Portal – a web resource for finding and using the samples and datasets created by the HoloFood project.

Follow the HoloFood Data Portal tutorial

Open the HoloFood documentation, and follow the Tutorial.

For the first few learning objectives, you just need to use the HoloFood Data Portal.

For the last learning objective, you need to write (or copy) some Python code to fetch data, analyse data, and make a plot.

Hint

There is a Jupyter Notebook available on the course-provided virtual machines, so you don’t need to set up Python or install anything. However, to follow this workshop at a later date, see the github repo for installation instructions.

To use the Jupyter Nobteook

  • Open a Terminal

  • Type the following commands:

hf-conda-setup
conda activate jupyter
cd /course/docs/sessions/holofood-data-portal/notebooks
jupyter lab

Find the “HoloFood Data Portal Tutorial Objective 7.ipynb” notebook in the lefthand bar. Double-click it.
