Abstract

This paper presents the construction and deployment of a data repository used and developed under the Covid Data Analytics (CDA) project, executed by the Department of Computer Science at UFMG. The project aimed to monitor aspects related to the social, economic and epidemiological scenario of COVID-19 in Brazil by analyzing data from official and non official sources, online social networks, and the web in general. The construction of the repository, which contains 18 attributes and 1086 records, was based on collecting data directly from the selected sources, which were later enriched and, finally, made available through a search tool developed exclusively for them.

Keywords: Covid-19, Dataset, Social networks
