v0.8 – Updates, including 2019 data

Now covers the 2019 conference.

v0.7 – One-mode networks

Code and plots to build one-mode networks between panel organisers and panel participants.

v0.6 – Updated network and plots

This release updates the network objects and plots, based on the corrections and fixes brought by all previous (early) releases since the initial one.

Next versions will focus on improving the affiliation variable of the participants.tsv file, which is the last variable that requires a lot of work before v1.0.

v0.5 – Fixes

• Filled in all missing participant roles.
• Yet more corrections to first and family names.
• Yet more corrections to affiliations.
• Smarter handling of complex corrections.

This release adds the fixes.tsv file, which represents, along with names.tsv and participants.tsv, several hours of manual data checking, going back and forth between the original (HTML) data and the processed (CSV) data. The data contained in edges.csv is far from perfect, but it is reasonably reliable, and is much more reliable than the original data.

v0.4 – Roles

• Re-numbered releases as 0.x pre-releases.
• Renamed affiliations dataset to participants.
• Added roles variable to participants dataset.
• Support for composed (first and family) names.
• Various fixes to participant names.
• Better coding documentation.

Many names in this pre-release were manually de-duplicated after looking for highly similar names using the stringdist package. The names.tsv file now contains name corrections that apply both to the participants indexes and to the panel pages.

v0.3 – Affiliations

• Added affiliations dataset (now called participants).
• Full list of missing genders.
• Various fixes to attendee names.
• Various fixes to data preparation.

v0.2 – Panels

• Added panels dataset.
• Moved codebook to DATA.
• Better documentation.
