us_agencies — U.S. government agency websites (2018)

Description

Networks of hyperlinks among the websites of the government agencies of the 50 U.S. states, collected by S. Kosack, M. Coscia and collaborators (Harvard Center for International Development) by crawling the websites in 2017. A node is the entire website of an agency, and a directed edge $i \to j$ indicates that at least one webpage of website $i$ contains a hyperlink to a webpage of website $j$.

There is one network for each state (e.g. alabama, newyork), and the network aggregate combines the websites of all 50 states. The node identifiers are consistent across the networks.

The networks have the following properties:

  • (Node) vid: the numerical identifier of the website, unique across states.
  • (Node) url (state networks): the URL of the website (the seed of the crawl).
  • (Node) name (state networks): the name of the agency.
  • (Node) year (state networks): the first year in which the website was indexed by the Internet Archive (a proxy for its creation date), or 0 if it was not indexed.
  • (Node) pages (state networks): the number of webpages of the website found at the time of the crawl.
  • (Node) traffic (state networks): an estimate of the web traffic of the website, as provided by the authors (its source and units are not documented in the data).
  • (Graph) population (state networks): the population of the state.
  • (Edge) link_counts: the number of hyperlinks from the webpages of website $i$ to the webpages of website $j$.
  • (Edge) rel_link_counts: in the state networks, link_counts divided by the number of pages of website $i$; in the aggregate network, link_counts divided by the total number of outgoing hyperlinks of website $i$.
