The original SQLite database set is found under ./sql. It contains not only the tables but various views for a better overview.
For opening and viewing the sql data, tools like e.g. the DB Browser for SQLite can be used.
The ./csv folder contains csv exports of the tables and views.
In ./networkData contains the relations of works and sources as bipartite network in .csv format. The edges are available as edge list or as adjacency matrix. The node list contains very basic information necessary for identification. Please note, this is the raw exported data for analysis.
