#' Decision-level network data
#' 
#' This dataset includes multi-dimensional network data on infringement
#' decisions. There is one dimension per decision stage. Network data is
#' similar to directed dyad-year data except that it only includes directed
#' dyad-years with at least one decision with respect to each stage. 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 with respect to each stage if and
#' only if the department issued at least one decision against the member
#' state during that year. The weight of the edge is the number of decisions
#' that the department opened against the member state. There is one
#' observation per department per member state per year per decision stage
#' (2002-2020), excluding directed dyad-years where the state was not a member
#' of the EU, but only if count of decisions is positive.
#' 
#' @format A data frame with 9 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 decision was issued by the
#' Commission.}
#' \item{layer_id}{\code{numeric}. An ID number that uniquely identifies each
#' layer of the network.}
#' \item{layer}{\code{string}. The layer of the network, which is the decision
#' stage.}
#' \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 issued the decision against. }
#' \item{edge_weight}{\code{numeric}. The weight of the edge, which is the
#' number of decisions opened by the Commission.}
