Table of Contents:

WikiFreaks User Guide:

These are all viewable in the "Project Deliverables" tab as well.

Data Resources:

We have two collections of sample datasets:

  • Raw Data, directly pulled from Wikipedia reports using Tabula.
  • Refined Data which we added unique identifiers, creation dates (complying with ISO 8601 standards), and taxonomic classification to using OpenRefine.

This section also contains sample metadata for one of the datasets, written in XML and following the schema defined in our metadata application profile.
These are all viewable in the "Sample Datasets and Metadata" tab.
