Public boundary
Included
Structured facts
- public entry IDs, names, aliases and categories
- dates, public scene locations, eras and schools
- documented relationship categories and selected works
- public event occurrences and opaque citation keys
Excluded
Prose and sensitive context
- biographies, relationship notes and other expressive prose
- contact, profile and reference URLs
- canonical source IDs and source-registry metadata
- private requests, assessments and internal editorial fields
Citation keys are opaque public references, not source IDs or confidence scores. They let a consumer retain a link between an exported fact and the site's public citation layer without exposing the canonical source registry inside the download. Resolve a key at /sources/#source-<citation_key> — for example, cite-n4yxx713g59qt2k6neb1. A citation_refs.field value of record means that the citation supports the public record generally; it is not a claim that every exported field was proved individually.
04
Version contract
Files are generated from the same checked data used by the website. Rows, columns, table order and line endings are deterministic; the dataset hash changes when the schema or exported content changes. New records and corrected facts can arrive within v1. A breaking field, table or meaning change requires a new versioned path rather than silently changing the v1 contract.
The hash is not the byte digest of the self-containing JSON file. For canonical-json-v1, hash the UTF-8 bytes of compact JSON with keys in this exact order: schema_version, license, hash_algorithm, hash_scope, schema, tables. The self-referential dataset_hash and derived counts fields are excluded.
The files are static downloads, not an uptime-guaranteed API. Responses permit cross-origin reads and carry explicit content types, filenames and cache policy. Consumers should pin the schema version and optionally the dataset hash when reproducibility matters.
05
Reuse & corrections
The exported facts are dedicated to the public domain under CC0 1.0 where legally possible. The website's original prose remains under CC BY-SA 4.0, and third-party sources keep their original rights. See Data & licensing for the full split.
