Table data.csv

Values are coded datapoints, i.e. measurements of a variable for a society.

Note: Missing data is signaled by an empty Value column.

Table societies.csv

The aggregated D-PLACE data lists two kinds of entities in its LanguageTable: Societies, i.e. cultural groups for which D-PLACE datasets provide data, and Languoids, i.e. language (varieties) which are referenced in Phlorest phylogenies. The two kinds are marked as "society" and "languoid"respectively in the type column.

Name_and_ID_in_source string Society names identified as pejorative have been replaced with a preferred, English-language ethnonym. The name (and ID) as given in the source dataset is kept in this field.
xd_id string “cross-data-set” identifier, used to link societies present in different datasets, if they share a focal location. Note: If this field is empty, other fields such as Name, Glottocode, focal year and location may be used to identify societies across datasets if appropriate.
alt_names_by_society list of string (separated by ; ) A list of ‘alternate’ names for the society; includes, where available, one or more autonyms in the society’s own language, as well as other commonly encountered ethnonyms.
main_focal_year integer Focal year specifying the time period to which the data refer, given as number of years BCE - if negative - or CE.

Language_Level_Glottocodes list of string (separated by ) Glottocode(s) of the language-level languoid(s) in Glottolog associated with the languoid specified by Glottocode. Matches the "Glottocode" column for languages, but differs for dialects and lists all contained languages for subgroups. The language-level Glottocodes can be used to match societies to languages in the Glottolog classification trees.
