#' Comment-level network data
#' 
#' This dataset includes network data on comments. Network data is similar to
#' directed dyad-year data except that it only includes directed dyad-years
#' with at least one comment. For every year, there is one node per member
#' state or institution that can submit a comment or notify a proposed
#' technical regulation (only member states). Links can only exist between a
#' third-party member state or institution that can submit a comment and a
#' member state that can notify a technical regulation. There is a link
#' between a third-party member state or institution and a notifying member
#' state if and only if the former submitted at least one comment with respect
#' to a technical regulation notified by the latter. The weight of the edge is
#' the number of comments submitted. There is one observation per third-party
#' member state or institution per notifying member state per year
#' (2002-2020), excluding directed dyad-years where a state was not a member
#' of the Single Market, but only if count of comments 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 member state or institution
#' submitted the comment.}
#' \item{from_node_id}{\code{numeric}. An ID number that uniquely identifies
#' each node (a member state or institution) that creates a link.}
#' \item{from_node}{\code{string}. The name of the member state or institution
#' that submitted the opinion to the Commission.}
#' \item{to_node_id}{\code{numeric}. An ID number that uniquely identifies
#' each node (a member state) that receives a link.}
#' \item{to_node}{\code{string}. The name of the member state that notified
#' the technical regulation to the Commission.}
#' \item{edge_weight}{\code{numeric}. The weight of the edge, which is the
#' number of comments filed against the member state the notified the proposed
#' technical regulation.}
#' }
