Social Sciences

These data consist of coded interactions between socio-political actors (i.e., cooperative or hostile actions between individuals, groups, sectors and nation states). Events are automatically identified and extracted from news articles by the BBN ACCENT event coder. These events are essentially triples consisting of a source actor, an event type (according to the CAMEO taxonomy of events), and a target actor. Geographical-temporal metadata are also extracted and associated with the relevant events within a news article. THE ICEWS DATA WAS DISCONTINUED ON 11 APRIL 2023. A COMPLETELY NEW, BUT RELATED DATASET, POLECAT, CAN BE FOUND AT <a href="https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/AJGVIT">doi.org/10.7910/DVN/AJGVIT</a>.
