Subject: AUTOTYP Database v1.0.0 Now Public

 
We are happy to announce a new release of the AUTOTYP database v1.0.0,
available here:  

Zenodo: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5931509
GitHub: https://github.com/autotyp/autotyp-data/tree/v1.0.0

This is a completely new release, radically overhauled from the earlier 0.1.x
version, and focuses on usability, documentation, and completeness.  New
features include:

-  Over 260 typological variables that describe 1319 languages across
approximately 260,000 data points or, together with the derived (aggregated)
data, over 1,700,000 data points.

-  New naming conventions for datasets and variables, focusing on usability
and clarity.

-  Language name and Glottolog code now accompany every dataset, so each
dataset is a self-standing table of a typological variable (but can also be
linked to any and all of the others via the internal language ID).

-  Published data now includes the raw exported database data as well as
derived aggregated tables.  All aggregation scripts used to compute derived
data are published as well.

-  New R and JSON exports for users who prefer those environments.

For a complete list of major new features see:
