Data Coverage
The development database covers organizations, officials, positions, appointments, relationships, and political transitions in Kazakhstan. Exact institutional and temporal coverage, name variants, and known gaps remain to be verified.
Schema
The database is maintained in the PostgreSQL schema `kzpolitics`. 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 compiled from project-curated institutional, official, media, and biographical sources. Release documentation will state Russian, Kazakh, and English name handling, identity resolution, appointment intervals, citations, and validation rules.
Current Structure
Configured Explore tools currently include Positions Roster. 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 expands organizational and career coverage, improves multilingual identity matching, and adds documented relational and temporal measures suitable for comparative research.
