| ## Dataset Summary |
|
|
| `bibspace` contains time-stamped occupancy readings for the reading rooms of |
| the Universität Regensburg library, enriched with matching weather data. |
| Occupancy values were scraped from the [university's reading-room occupancy |
| page](https://www.uni-regensburg.de/bibliothek/dienste/arbeiten-lernen/auslastung-der-lesesaele), |
| and weather observations were retrieved from the |
| [OpenWeatherMap API](https://openweathermap.org/) for the corresponding |
| timestamps. The dataset supports analysis and modeling of how reading-room |
| occupancy varies over time and with weather conditions. |
|
|
| - **Rows:** 109,360 |
| - **Format:** Parquet |
| - **Language of category labels:** German (room names, color labels, and |
| weather descriptions are in German, as scraped from the source website) |
| - **Time range:** 2025-07-29 15:11:18 to 2026-06-29 17:30:40 |
|
|
| ### Data Fields |
|
|
| | Column | Type | Description | |
| |-------------------------|---------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |
| | `Zeitstempel` | string (date) | Timestamp of the observation. | |
| | `Lesesaal` | string (10 classes) | Name/identifier of the reading room. | |
| | `Auslastung (%)` | int64 | Occupancy of the reading room, in percent. | |
| | `Farbe` | string (3 classes) | Traffic-light-style occupancy indicator shown on the library website (green/yellow/red). | |
| | `Temperatur (°C)` | float64 | Outdoor air temperature in degrees Celsius at the time of the observation. | |
| | `Wetterbeschreibung` | string (12 classes) | Short weather description (e.g., cloudy, rain, clear sky), as returned by the OpenWeatherMap API. | |
|
|
| ### Source Data |
|
|
| - **Occupancy data** was scraped at regular intervals from the University of |
| Regensburg library's public reading-room occupancy page. |
| - **Weather data** was retrieved from the OpenWeatherMap API for the same |
| timestamps and merged with the occupancy readings by time. |
