#' Case-level network data
#' 
#' This dataset includes network data on infringement cases. Network data is
#' similar to directed dyad-year data except that it only includes directed
#' dyad-years with at least one infringement case. For every year, there is
#' one node per department and one node per member state. Edges can only exist
#' between a department and a member state. There is an edge between a
#' department and a member state if and only if the department opened at least
#' one case against the member state during that year. The weight of the edge
#' is the number of cases that the department opened against the member state.
#' There is one observation per department per member state per year
#' (2002-2020), excluding directed dyad-years where the state was not a member
#' of the EU, but only if count of cases is positive.
#' 
#' @format A data frame with 7 variables:
#' \describe{
#' \item{key_id}{\code{numeric}. An ID number that uniquely identifies each
#' observation in the dataset. }
#' \item{year}{\code{numeric}. The year the case was opened by the
#' Commission.}
#' \item{from_node_id}{\code{numeric}. An ID number that uniquely identifies
#' each node in the network that creates a link, which is always a Commission
#' department.}
#' \item{from_node}{\code{string}. The name of the Commission department that
#' opened the infringement case.}
#' \item{to_node_id}{\code{numeric}. An ID number that uniquely identifies
#' each node in the network that receives a link, which is always a member
#' state.}
#' \item{to_node}{\code{string}. The name of the member state that the
#' Commission opened the case against. }
#' \item{edge_weight}{\code{numeric}. The weight of the edge, which is the
#' number of cases opened by the Commission.}
