Access all dZ-Dot supported data; follow live updating dataZoa tables, charts and data series. Combine displays and series into custom, shareable views and dashboards, export data to your favorite tools and more.
Through a partnership with the Batten School and Weldon Cooper Center, researchers now have access to this new resource! dataZoa is a powerful tool for grabbing data series from the web and creating dynamic charts and graphs that can be shared with others. The dZ-Dot browser add-on (available for Chrome and Firefox) enables researchers to drag and drop more than 3 billion data series from public websites, such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics, World Bank, and Zillow. These connections are live so once a data series has been imported into a dataZoa account, it will automatically update with the most current numbers.
To get started, create a dataZoa account using your university email address. If you have questions, please contact Summer Durrant at durrant@virginia.edu.
