Data Coverage
The development database organizes people, organizations, emails, documents, entities, and relationships represented in the project corpus. Corpus boundaries, identity confidence, redactions, and known omissions require explicit legal and ethical review before release.
Schema
The database is maintained in the PostgreSQL schema `epstein`. Its public schema description will identify approved tables, keys, relationships, and derived views after model-to-database verification. A public diagram or SQL artifact will be added when it is ready for release.
Data Sources & Methods
Records are derived from a defined document corpus and retain links to source evidence wherever permitted. Release methods will document document provenance, parsing, entity and relationship extraction, identity review, uncertainty labels, redaction, and correction procedures.
Current Structure
Configured Explore tools currently include Entity Search and Email Search. No enabled download resource is currently registered. These entries describe the development application surface; release readiness, table coverage, and public fields remain subject to the Database's vertical-slice review.
Planned Expansion
Planned work strengthens document and entity search, evidence review, identity-confidence labeling, and correction or takedown workflows. Public fields and raw-document access will be decided only after legal and ethical review.
