2026-11-02 [entries] Remove unneeded code from the entries by Tiago de Paula Peixoto 2c69f19

Unneeded "global files" statements, unused imports and variables,
f-strings without placeholders, duplicate keys in foodweb_little_rock
(keeping the order and the values used), and the second definition of
get_lines() in twitter_higgs. Nothing changes in the networks or
descriptions.

2026-10-25 [entries] Merge duplicate entries and add cross-references between related ones by Tiago de Paula Peixoto 9bc6033

- Removed duplicates, merged into the entries holding the same data:
  dblp_coauthor_snap (soc_net_comms), cattle and bison (dom; bison's
  breeding data move there, as do the wolves' age and sex),
  football_tsevans (football, with both conference assignments),
  eu_procurements_alt (eu_procurements), foursquare_friendships
  (foursquare_global).
- software_dependencies: colt and scolt are one network; ambassador: the
  duplicate 2001 network is dropped and the three same-edge networks
  combined; dom: the dataset count corrected (436).
- macaque_neural: Young's 71-area network added (young71; the 47-area one
  is now cocomac47), both from archived copies.
- collins_yeast, celegans_interactomes: from archived copies of the dead
  CCSB site (byte-identical files).
- Cross-references between entries holding versions of the same data
  (food webs, Wikipedia, Slashdot, physicians, SNAP/Mislove, CCSB).
- ICON ids of duplicate records added; macaque_neural's corrected.
- prosper, dbpedia_all: string properties given in edge-index order (needs
  graph-tool with the fixed vals ordering).

2026-10-25 [entries] Fix parse bugs and improve the metadata of existing entries by Tiago de Paula Peixoto c996a0e

From a review of the dataset descriptions against the upstream sources
and papers, and from user reports:

- parse fixes (wrong edge direction or directedness, shifted or
  misnamed properties, merged node identities, duplicated or missing
  edges and nodes, wrong types), e.g. arxiv_citation (the HepTh dates
  were a copy of the HepPh ones; now from the KDD Cup 2003 data),
  eu_procurements, foursquare_global, hiv_transmission, genetic_multiplex,
  gnutella (adds the 05 snapshot), roadnet, macaque_neural, python_dependency
- descriptions rewritten from the upstream sources, documenting every
  property
- corrected titles, citations and DOIs, licences (ustream_license typo,
  the data's own terms), tags and ICON ids
- url lists for entries with several sources or dataset pages
- SocioPatterns entries moved to the site's new data location, with the
  daily networks of sp_infectious and sp_primary_school
- the Michael Fire entries marked as orphans (served from the mirror)
- redundant type forcings removed after the graph-tool coercion fixes
