Data tables

For these hackathons, we have collected data in tabular (tab-separated) form, which we have normalized as a small relational database. For each table we also provide a metadata file to explain what the columns mean, and between some tables we have intersection tables to model many:many relationships. These are the tables:

• events, with metadata
• participants, with metadata
• participant_event, i.e. which participants attended which events, with metadata
• projects, with metadata
• project_products, i.e. products that derive from projects, with metadata
• event_products, i.e. products that derive directly from events, with metadata
