Types of Data Assets

Datasets

An internal dataset is a copy of your dataset on Code Ocean in your virtual private cloud deployment. You can achieve this by uploading data from a local machine or importing data from a cloud provider (e.g., AWS or Google Cloud). The data will be saved on Code Ocean's server. Authorized users can download them from their Data Assets page and access or attach them in a capsule.

You can add datasets as a link to your remote bucket on AWS S3. To establish the link, you will need to provide the AWS credentials during set up (see Secret Management Guide for more details). Only the link will be saved on Code Ocean's server. Authorized users will have to provide the credentials for using the external dataset in the capsule. Since the data is not saved in Code Ocean, users cannot download it directly.

Results

Capture Results lets you save the output of a computation safely and efficiently with provenance. The Capture Results feature is an expansion of existing functionality in Code Ocean known as Reproducible Run results. You can find these results in the Timeline of your capsule.

The provenance is saved as the Reproducibility Info. See General Information Per Data Asset Type for more information.
