Data access

The table catalog below is what the dataset contains. Bulk downloads aren't public yet: the data is still in active development, so rather than serve a snapshot that shifts under you, the full dataset will be released as a single versioned, openly-licensed, DOI'd snapshot alongside the data paper, with the code open-sourced under MIT. Until then every score is browsable through the live tools with sources cited per entity, and the frozen tayyar-dataset-v0.2 snapshot behind the paper is available from the author on request. See methodology for the rubric.
