| # Data dictionary |
|
|
| JSON envelope: generated (build timestamp, not event time), release (build identity), coverage |
| (selection disclaimer), license (licence metadata), incidents (array). CSV values are quoted strings; |
| JSON retains null, number, arrays and objects. Empty string/null/empty array mean absent or unavailable, |
| not false or zero. Source references are zero-based indices in that dossier's sources array. |
|
|
| | Dossier field (CSV and JSON) | Meaning | |
| |---|---| |
| | id | Stable dossier identifier; not an individual aircraft ID. | |
| | title | Public dossier title. | |
| | place | Public city, region, sea or other coarse place label. | |
| | country | Country label; sea association does not prove territorial location or flag. | |
| | countryCode | Two-letter country association. | |
| | scope | single or wave: report extent; not an actor or weapon inference. | |
| | review | editor or auto; automatic is not editorial approval. | |
| | corroboration | curated, multiple, single; source tier distinct from claim confidence. | |
| | dateKind | event or statement; statement uses a report/statement date rather than a known event date. | |
| | date | YYYY-MM-DD, interpreted with dateKind, no time/zone precision implied. | |
| | category | Archive's incident category; classification can change. | |
| | droneStatus | confirmed, reported, inconclusive, debunked: presence only. | |
| | impactStatus | confirmed, reported, inconclusive, debunked, unknown: consequences only. | |
| | attributionStatus | none, suspected, claimed, charged, convicted, officially-attributed: responsibility state. | |
| | lat | Approximate latitude or null; read locationPrecision. | |
| | lon | Approximate longitude or null; read locationPrecision. | |
| | locationPrecision | Stated precision of dossier coordinates; never precision of a display anchor. | |
| | checkedAt | Editorial check date or absent; not incident occurrence time. | |
| | autoCheckedAt | Automatic check date or absent; not editorial review. | |
| | updatedAt | Dossier update timestamp/date; not incident time. | |
| | summary | Summary prose. | |
| | impact | Consequences prose, interpreted with impactStatus. | |
| | evidence | Evidence assessment prose. | |
| | unknown | Known gaps and unresolved questions. | |
| | attribution | Responsibility prose, interpreted with attributionStatus. | |
|
|
| ## Reporting windows (CSV and JSON) |
| windowStart/windowEnd: optional inclusive calendar-day bounds, YYYY-MM-DD; both null for legacy dossiers. |
| windowBasis: explicit, source-relative-evening-night or source-relative-24h. A reporting window is not |
| a set of separately located events or exact timestamps. Source-relative requires a demonstrated source |
| offset. Legacy date/dateKind are retained; do not use the date as an exact event day when a window exists. |
| Never backfill a window from an old date or count it once in each covered day. |
|
|
| ## Closed automatic impact claims (DI-19) |
| impactReports[] contains type (closed enum), n/qual (literal casualty count/comparator or null), |
| who (registered actor or coarse official role), via (registered publisher), asOf (original source |
| publication timestamp with explicit offset, not event time or final toll), src (sources[] index), |
| and state (reported or contested). No quote, free prose, victim, object name or precise place. |
| Types: killed, injured, damage_residential, damage_civilian_infrastructure, damage_energy, |
| damage_industrial, damage_transport, damage_vehicle, damage_vessel, damage_other, fire, |
| power_outage, water_outage, airport_disruption, flight_disruption, no_damage, no_casualties. |
| At most 16 eligible claims. Empty means no eligible claim included, never proof of no impact. |
| No_damage and no_casualties are different explicit reported absences. Contested claims have no |
| count; dossier impactStatus uses the existing inconclusive enum, never automatic confirmed. |
| The latest publication from the same speaker/type supersedes older counts; equal-time conflicting |
| counts are suppressed. Different speakers remain separate. Never add casualty counts across claims, |
| dossiers, days, cities or windows. Earlier published counts stay in dossier revision history. |
| Source publishedAt is additive and timestamp-bound; unavailable original offset time means no |
| automatic impact claim. Legacy dossiers receive this only at a normal update; no guessed backfill. |
| |
| ## CSV-only flattened columns |
| source_urls: source URLs joined by ` | `; source_families: unique publisher-family slugs in |
| encounter order joined by ` | `; sources_json: JSON-encoded sources array (use this rather than |
| splitting URLs). ref_lat/ref_lon/ref_level: flattened referencePoint coordinates/level or empty. |
| impact_reports_json is the same closed impactReports array serialized as JSON in one quoted CSV |
| cell (empty array for legacy/absent). No casualty scalar or aggregate columns. Parse JSON, do not |
| sum. revision: the published dossier revision (cite it with the dossier id). droneStatusSources_json, |
| impactStatusSources_json, attributionSources_json, claims_json and timeline_json carry the same arrays |
| as the JSON fields below, serialized as JSON in one quoted cell. History remains JSON-only. |
|
|
| ## JSON-only nested dossier fields |
| - sources[]: label (publisher/document label), url (HTTPS original), published (source publication |
| date, YYYY-MM-DD), family (organisation slug). A family does not establish original independence. |
| - droneStatusSources[], impactStatusSources[], attributionSources[]: supporting source indices |
| for the respective axis; empty does not prove a negative observation. |
| - droneTypes[]: asReported (literal reported type label), type (catalog slug or null), count |
| (positive integer or null), countMetric (launched, intercepted, impacted or null), sourceIndex. |
| Do not add overlapping counts, different time windows or different metrics. |
| - claims[]: id (claim slug), axis (claim axis), statement (assertion), quote (source passage), |
| claimant (original speaker/organisation), note (assessment explanation), originId (shared original |
| statement identity), relay (direct/relayed), assessment (evidence assessment), sourceIndex, |
| quoteCheckedAt (quote check date or null). Read those together; repeated relay is not corroboration. |
| - timeline[]: date (YYYY-MM-DD), text (event/check narrative), source (supporting source index). |
| Entries are dossier chronology, not trajectories or precise observation times. |
| - referencePoint: null or lat/lon (display anchor), name (named place), level (city/region/sea/country) |
| and any provenance/precision members present. It is not measured incident geolocation. |
| - history[]: available dossier change entries; revision (version number), date (change date), at (change timestamp), note |
| (change explanation). This export is not a guarantee of complete historical evidence snapshots; |
| bind analysis to envelope.release and MANIFEST hashes, not a guessed current revision. |
|
|
| No internal state, credentials, queue/hold flags or unpublished dossiers belong in this export. |
| Enums and optional nested members can evolve; preserve unknown fields and report schema changes. |
