These are classifications the IRW records, not the study’s own words. Some were annotated by hand and some written by an automated tagger whose output is published only where it clears a measured accuracy bar; which values came from which is not recorded per table. Coverage and accuracy per column, and what is held back, are on Tag quality.

This table is in 2 collections. Each membership records how it was decided:

Membership is the IRW’s judgment and is worth checking before you use a collection as a sample. A hand-curated list is a snapshot: it is not re-checked when tables are added, so a table that would qualify may be missing. See Collections.

Codebook

This codebook is reconstructed by the IRW from the IRW data standard. It is our best reading, not the source’s own codebook, and it may contain mistakes. Where the two disagree, the source data are the authority. If you find an error, please tell us.
