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.

Columns

Name/Property	Datatype	Description
ID	string Regex: [a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+	Primary key
Soc_ID	string
Var_ID	string	References variables.csv::ID
Value	string	Values for categorical and ordinal variables reference the corresponding code via the Code_ID column. Values for continuous variables have the measured number in the Value column and an empty Code_ID.
Code_ID	string	References codes.csv::ID
Comment	string
Source	list of string (separated by ;)
sub_case	string	More specific description of the population the data refer to in terms of society or area.
year	string Regex: -?[0-9]{1,4}(-[0-9]{4})?	Focal year, i.e. the time period to which the data refer.
source_coded_data	string	The source of the coded data, which was aggregated in this dataset.
admin_comment	string

Table variables.csv

Variables are cultural features or practices, or environmental descriptors.

Name	string
Description	string
ColumnSpec	json
category	list of string (separated by , )
type	string Valid choices: Continuous Categorical Ordinal	Variables may be categorical (and then must be accompanied by a list of possible ‘codes’, i.e. rows in Codetable. Variables can also be continuous (e.g. Population size) or ordinal. Ordinal variables are accompanied by a list of codes (like categorical variables). The order of codes is encoded as ord column in CodeTable.
unit	string	The unit of measurement
source_comment	string	A note about the source of this variable.
changes	string	Notes about how a variable may have been derived from the source.
