PRIO-GRID Meta-data survey and source information
Description
A (continuous, ongoing and incomplete) survey of
data we think is relevant for quantitative conflict research. We also use this
information to build the PRIO-GRID repository, i.e,. downloading and storing files,
reading locally downloaded files, map and read correct citation information, etc.
This is work in progress, and more will come here. If you want to suggest data to
this survey (your own or other data you think should be here), you can do that here:
https://github.com/prio-data/priogrid/issues/new/choose.
