The Kinomatics Australian Film Production Dataset

This is the public repository for the Kinomatics Australian Film Production Dataset, a large, curated dataset describing Australian feature film production and personnel from 1975 to 2022. Here, we briefly describe the contents of this repository, which are explained in more detail in the dataset's technical documentation. Repository contents Data files There are two main data files that form this dataset. The first is films.csv, a table where each row corresponds to a unique film in the dataset, and the columns contain variables describing those films. The second is roles.csv, a table where each row corresponds to an instance of a person filling a role on a film, and the columns contain variables describing that role (including identifiers for the film and the person). Documentation The technical documentation of the dataset is contained in the technical_documentation.odt file. Here, we provide a detailed account of the data collection, validation and preparation processes. We also provide tables describing each column in each of the data files. We have also written a research data paper to accompany the dataset, which focuses less on the technical details and more on motivating the dataset itself and the decisions we made in deciding its scope and coverage. This data paper has been submitted for peer review, and a copy of the initially submitted manuscript can be found in the file preprint.pdf. Change log The file changelog.pdf documents changes between released versions of the dataset. Issues For any issues related to the dataset or this repository, please contact either of the lead authors Pete Jones ([e-mail]) or Deb Verhoeven ([e-mail]) and let us know what the problem is and how we can fix it.本仓库为Kinomatics澳大利亚电影制作数据集（Kinomatics Australian Film Production Dataset）的公开托管仓库，该数据集为经过人工甄选整理的大型数据集，涵盖1975年至2022年澳大利亚故事片的制作信息与演职员信息。下文将简要介绍本仓库的内容，更详细的说明请参阅数据集的技术文档。 ### 仓库内容 #### 数据文件 本数据集包含两份核心数据文件。其一为`films.csv`，该表格的每一行对应数据集中的一部独立影片，各列存储描述该影片的各类变量。 其二为`roles.csv`，该表格的每一行对应一名人员在某部影片中担任某一职务的记录，各列存储描述该职务的相关变量（包含影片与人员的唯一标识符）。 #### 文档资料 数据集的技术文档存储于`technical_documentation.odt`文件中，其中详细阐述了数据的采集、校验与预处理流程，并对两份数据文件的各列字段进行了完整说明。 本数据集配套有一篇研究数据论文，该论文未过多着墨于技术细节，而是着重阐释了本数据集的构建初衷、覆盖范围与数据选取逻辑。该论文已提交同行评审，预印本稿件可在`preprint.pdf`文件中获取。 #### 更新日志 `changelog.pdf`文件记录了数据集各发布版本之间的更新内容。 #### 问题反馈 若您在使用本数据集或浏览本仓库时遇到任何问题，请联系主要作者皮特·琼斯（Pete Jones，邮箱：[e-mail]）或黛布·弗霍文（Deb Verhoeven，邮箱：[e-mail]），并告知具体问题与修复建议。
