Crawl details

• Crawl started: 2026-08-15
• Crawl completed: 2026-08-15

The crawler used public sitemaps and links from the website. It stayed within the websites and file hosts listed in parser/sites.csv and followed robots.txt.

Text was taken from web pages, text-based PDFs, Word files and CSV files. Scanned PDFs and images were not read with OCR. Very short pages and exact duplicate texts were left out.
