#' Opinion-level network data
#' 
#' This dataset includes network data on detailed opinions. Network data is
#' similar to directed dyad-year data except that it only includes directed
#' dyad-years with at least one detailed opinion. For every year, there is one
#' node per member state or institution that can submit a detailed opinion 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
#' detailed opinion 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
#' detailed opinion with respect to a technical regulation notified by the
#' latter. The weight of the edge is the number of detailed opinions
#' 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 detailed opinion.}
#' \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 opinions filed against the member state the notified the proposed
#' technical regulation.}
#' }
