The Split
One question, the institutions that have published on it, and each position with the document and the date beneath it.
What this dataset records

A reading is recorded only where at least two institutions have published on the same question in their own names. Position is a single sentence taken from the document itself, never a paraphrase of a paraphrase, and every field carries the page that states it. No institution is ranked, weighted or scored, and no consensus figure is computed: the row records what was published, not who is right. Documents whose subject is UAE or Saudi government policy, sovereign or diplomatic affairs, an official of either state, or either state's security are not recorded.
Provenance: each field records the value and the page that states it. Changes are versioned; see the method page for what verified-as-at means. Licence CC BY 4.0, attribution to Orient Brief.
