+ # Datasheet — Germany 2025 Electoral Divergence Electoral Divergence Dataset
2
+
3
+ Following *Datasheets for Datasets* (Gebru et al., 2021; arXiv:1803.09010). Part of the AFOS Analytics validated-cases collection, cross-referencing prediction market x opinion polls x press against the official result.

+ ## 1. Motivation
6
+ Created by AFOS Analytics (independent, self-funded) to document, in an auditable form, the divergence between prediction markets, opinion polls and press narrative for this election (Federal (Bundestag), quem vence mais cadeiras). Use for research on market-vs-poll calibration, teaching, and replication of the AFOS divergence method.

8
+ ## 2. Composition
9
+ Several observational units, each in its own table: a poll x party/candidate estimate (polls/), a daily market-implied probability (market-odds-timeseries), a divergence record (divergence), structural context (structural-context), and press items (news/). Instance counts and columns are enumerated per file in datapackage.json and DATA_DICTIONARY.md. Values are transcribed from public aggregates; nothing is imputed. No personal or sensitive data.

11
+ ## 3. Collection process
12
+ Polls parsed deterministically from the public Wikipedia polling aggregation (CC BY-SA) by the shipped parse/build scripts; original pollsters credited. Market data from Polymarket on-chain via the AFOS server-side proxy. Structural context from the World Bank (WGI, WDI). Official result from the national electoral authority. Election dates: first round 2025-02-23; status completed.

+ ## 4. Preprocessing / cleaning
15
+ Poll and market series are emitted in tidy long format (one row per poll x party/candidate, or date x party). Missing source values are left empty; nothing is smoothed except where a column is explicitly labelled as an average (e.g. a moving average). Raw market pulls are shipped as poly-raw JSON.

17
+ ## 5. Uses
18
+ Supports the AFOS validated-case narrative and divergence analysis. Should NOT be read as a causal claim, nor as an official tally; the market-implied probability is not the same quantity as a vote share. Known limitation: poll aggregations may not carry sponsor/mode/question-wording/weighting per row (recoverable via each poll source).

+ ## 6. Distribution
21
+ Hugging Face Hub (https://huggingface.co/datasets/AFOS-Analytics1/germany-2025-electoral-divergence); mirrored on GitHub; Harvard Dataverse DOI pending. License: data CC BY 4.0, code Apache 2.0. No redistribution-restricted source is included.

23
+ ## 7. Maintenance
24
+ Maintained by AFOS Analytics (afos-analytics.com). Corrections and versioning via the repository; the shipped parser regenerates derived files from source. Country ISO3: DEU.
