sister_cities — Sister cities (Wikidata, 2017)

Description

An undirected network of cities and other administrative areas of the world connected by "sister city" (or "twin city") relationships, as extracted from Wikidata by KONECT in October 2017. Each node is a city (or another administrative body), and an edge connects two cities that are twinned. The data identify the cities only by indices; their names are not included.
