Dataset: a geodata derived neighborhood graph of german municipalities and their metadata

Fraas, Simon

The graph presented in this dataset contains all German municipalities and their metadata keyed by NUTS Level 3, provided by the DE BKG as of 06/2019 - changed. All data renderings provided here were done in Cytoscape 3.7.1 (Season file for replication purposes is included in the archives). NUTS is a categorization system for European regions ranging from whole nations (NUTS 0), countries (NUTS 1 and 2), municipalities (NUTS 3) to even smaller regions in some cases (LAU). The AGS (amtlicher Gemeindeschlüssel), which is unique to germany, is also included in the Metadata. Thus the data can be linked with european and german institution sourced data at the same time.

The archive files contain the following items:

• Edge-List (NutsA-NutsB) wth NUTS only

• Node-List with all metadata provided by BKG files.

• Example Edge-List with Population-Density-Metric connection values

• Season-File for Cytoscape 3.7.1 to reproduce the renderings in this paper

All table files are in CSV format with UTF-8 encoding and ; delimiter. Special character like ö, ä, ß, ü have been replaced (with oe, ae, ss, ue) to ensure compatibility.
