Cricsheet Register - Cricsheet

Cricsheet provides two registers, one for People and one for Venues. Each register has multiple entries with identifiers from multiple sites so that a single person or venue can be identified.
The People Register consists of two CSV files containing a unique identifier for 18,698 people, and including 28,603 identifiers from 12 sources, all linked together so that an id from one site can be used to find the identifier for that same person at another site. The data also contains 8,818 name variations for the people covered.
The people covered by the data include:
Bear in mind that not all ids are available for each person in the data. Only those required by either Cricsheet itself, or the Cricket Scorecard Accuracy Project will be provided.
The data includes identifiers from 12 different sites. They, along with the number of identifiers from each, are:

The entries in the People Register can be found in the file people.csv.
This file is a CSV consisting of a single row for each person, containing the id for the person, as assigned by Cricsheet and used in Cricsheet data, their name, a unique version of their name (as sometimes used in the match data files), and columns for the various identifiers used for the person on various websites. Not all ids are provided for all people, only those determined so far through use in Cricsheet or the Cricket Scorecard Accuracy Project.
The fields on each row (after the header) include, but are not limited to, the following:
The file names.csv provides a list of alternate or variant names for people, if they are different from that provided for the person in people.csv. These names generally include the variations used on the different sources, although some will be due to name changes (for a variety of reasons). These names are not unique, so the same name may appear multiple times.
Each row of the file, other than the header, consists of the following fields:
The Venue Register also consists of two CSV files containing a unique identifier for 591 venues, and including 592 identifiers from 1 source, all linked together so that an id from one site can be used to find the identifier for that same venue at another site. The data also contains 300 name variations for the venues covered.
The entries in the Venue Register can be found in the file venues.csv.
This file is a CSV consisting of a single row for each venue, containing the id for the venue, as assigned by Cricsheet and used in Cricsheet data, the name of the venue, a unique version of the name (as sometimes used in the match data files), and columns for the various identifiers used for the venue on various websites. Not all ids are provided for all venues, only those determined so far through use in Cricsheet.
The fields on each row (after the header) include, but are not limited to, the following:
The file venue_names.csv provides a list of alternate or variant names for venues, if they are different from that provided for the venue in venues.csv. These names generally include the variations used on the different sources, although some will be due to name changes (for a variety of reasons, such as sponsorship). These names are not unique, so the same name may appear multiple times.
Each row of the file, other than the header, consists of the following fields:
The data is updated whenever either a new person or venue is added to the Cricsheet match data, or a new identifier is added for an existing person or venue. The files are then uploaded to this site when it is rebuild.
