How It Works

The data is available under two types of licenses:
Research
Commercial

Welcome to the Land of Clean Data!

Each dataset goes through 3 levels of quality review
  • 2 Manual reviews are done by domain experts
  • Then, an automated set of 60+ validations enforces every datum matches metadata & defined constraints
Data is normalized into one unified type system
  • All dates, units, codes, currencies look the same
  • All null values are normalized to the same value
  • All dataset and field names are SQL and Hive compliant
Data and Metadata
  • Data is available in both CSV and Apache Parquet format, optimized for high read performance on distributed Hadoop, Spark & MPP clusters
  • Metadata is provided in the open Frictionless Data standard, and every field is normalized & validated
Data Updates
  • Data updates support replace-on-update: outdated foreign keys are deprecated, not deleted

Welcome to Expert Curated Data!

Field names, descriptions, and normalized values are chosen by people who actually understand their meaning

Healthcare & life science experts add categories, search keywords, descriptions and more to each dataset

Both manual and automated data enrichment supported for clinical codes, providers, drugs, and geo-locations

The data is always kept up to date – even when the source requires manual effort to get updates

Support for data subscribers is provided directly by the domain experts who curated the data sets

Every data source’s license is manually verified to allow for royalty-free commercial use and redistribution

Frequently Asked Questions

1. General Questions

Through the Data Market, John Snow Labs offers a wide range of health and life science datasets and data packages.

John Snow Labs offers access to datasets that have been curated by a team of specialists in the health and life science domains. Thanks to the vast team expertise and experience in data acquisition, data curation, data normalization and data publishing, our datasets are cleaner, better documented, better structured and enriched with useful information than their free equivalents offered by various well established and trustworthy data publishers.

Our datasets are extremely easy to understand, use and integrate into your existing systems and tools. You can find a list of our databases on our vendors page.

Every single dataset on John Snow Labs has a fully transparent link back to its source. This means you can always verify the data as published by its original source. Transparency is the ultimate enabler of trust.

The main customers targeted by John Snow Labs Data Library are:

  • Healthcare and Life Science application providers;
  • Data integrators that want to provide data-centered services and are interested in John Snow Labs datasets;
  • SMEs that want to develop new products based on health and life science data;
  • CIOs/CEOs/CTOs healthcare related businesses;
  • Data scientists;
  • Data publishers that want to integrate their datasets with complementary health and life datasets for a richer context and relevance;

The John Snow Labs Data Library is an online data repository that allows users to access, download, and use datasets or data packages (groups of related datasets) curated by John Snow Labs team of experts. It is a quick and easy to access gateway to the John Snow Labs data catalog, a unique resource of normalized, clean and enriched collection of health and life science datasets.

The data library contains virtual products in the form of datasets and data packages that can be downloaded and used:

  • for research purposes for free and
  • for commercial purposes after paying a subscription fee.

As long as the subscription is valid the user will have a commercial license to use to the datasets and will get all available updates.

2. Data Library Functionalities

The Data Library provides a dedicated web page where the users can search for the datasets she/he is interested in and explore the available data catalog.

The search functionality works on both dataset name and dataset description. By default, all available datasets are displayed as a list of products.

The following information is available for each product, on the main shop page:

  • name of the dataset;
  • relevant short description;
  • image that identifies the name of the data package that includes the current dataset;
  • data download button for logged in users.

The Data Library provides dedicated pages for all available datasets and data packages.

The dataset details page includes the following information:

  • the dataset name;
  • license information for the logged in user;
  • direct download links for CSV data, PDF reference file, and JSON metadata file;
  • the image associated with the dataset;
  • a short description of the dataset;
  • a detailed description of the dataset;
  • a clear description of the list of fields together with typing information;
  • data preview;
  • a data package section that shortly describes the data package that includes the current dataset;
  • a related dataset section containing all datasets that are in the same accelerator as the current dataset

A data package is a group of datasets that are related. In other words, datasets included in the same package describe the same data from different points of view or describe complementary data or data that is somehow related.

3. Data Info
