Background
KEDS -
The Kansas Event Data System
uses automated coding of English-language news reports to generate
political event data focusing on the Middle East, Balkans, and
West Africa. These data are used in statistical early warning models
to predict political change. The ten-year project is based in the
Department of Political Science at the University of Kansas;
it has been funded primarily by the U.S. National Science Foundation.
KEDS data sets
from KEDS data collection.
Gulf data set:
This data set covers the states of the Gulf region and the Arabian
peninsula for the period 15 April 1979 to 31 March 1999.
The source texts prior to 10 June 97 were located using a NEXIS
search command specifically designed to return relevant data.
There are two versions of the data:
a set coded from the lead sentences only (57,000 events), and
a set coded from full stories (304,000 events).
There are some errors in the GulfAll data. Events
118196 and 118197 have REUT-0 in place of the date;
and in event 173526 the first actor is missing.
In Gulf99All.dat the wrong dates are replaced with
890319, and the incomplete event is skiped.
Levant data set:
Folder containing WEIS-coded events (N=196,337) for dyadic interactions
within the following set of countries: Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon,
Palestinians, Syria, USA, and USSR/Russia. Coverage is April 1979 to June 2004.
TABARI coding dictionaries are also included.
There are some errors (333) in data set - relation codes
012], O24, O53, 213] are replaced with
012, 024, 053, 213 in Levant.dat.
Some events don't have description codes - they are marked with ***
in relation labels in *.net files.
Balkans data set, 1989-2003:
Folder containing WEIS-coded events (N = 78,667) for the major actors
(including ethnic groups) involved in the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia.
Coverage is April 1989 through July 2003. TABARI coding dictionaries are
included in the folder.
There are some errors (197) in data set - relation codes
---], O24, O53 are replaced with
000, 024, 053 in Balkan.dat.
Some events don't have description codes - they are marked with ***
in relation labels in *.net files.
The original data sets are on MAC files. They should be saved as PC files before
processing.
History
- Program Recode (in Delphi) by Vladimir Batagelj, Ljubljana, July 25, 2003
- Program KEDSrec adapted for KEDS from Recode;
Gulf (leads) data recoded into Pajek's format,
by Vladimir Batagelj, Ljubljana, November 3, 2003
- Support for multiple relations networks added to program KEDSrec
by Vladimir Batagelj, Ljubljana, November 22, 2004
- KedsR - functionality of KEDSrec implemented in R;
Gulf (leads) data recoded into Pajek's format (days, months, day of the week),
by Vladimir Batagelj, Ljubljana, November 27, 2004
- WeisR - commands from KedsR adapted for WEIS format (similar to
KEDS but TAB delimited);
Balkan and Levant data recoded into Pajek's format (days, months),
by Vladimir Batagelj, Ljubljana, November 28, 2004
- Gulf99All is a large data set - sapply commands in KedsR had to be replaced
by while loops;
Gulf (all) data recoded into Pajek's format (days, months),
by Vladimir Batagelj, Ljubljana, November 29, 2004
