Covid19CanadaETL: A Pipeline for Canadian COVID-19 Data

A package used to automate the collection of time series data for COVID-19 in Canada.

The automated data collection from this package is used to assemble the Covid19Canada dataset from the COVID-19 Canada Open Data Working Group. It is also used in the Timeline of COVID-19 in Canada, one component of the What Happened? COVID-19 in Canada project.

The data automation pipeline involves three packages:

• Covid19CanadaData: Loads the live version of the desired dataset (denoted by its UUID in dataset.json) using the function Covid19CanadaData::dl_dataset
• Covid19CanadaDataProcess: Processes a given dataset into a standardized data format
• Covid19CanadaDataETL: Coordinates the downloading, processing and uploading of all relevant datasets

Covid19CanadaDataETL requires Covid19CanadaData and Covid19CanadaDataProcess to be installed to run.

This package has been in use since June 1, 2021.
