Each individual description points to a distinctive archive that might be one publication or several hundred thousand publications large. It is in these archives where the meaning—or meanings—of a description can be found.

Steps to reproduce

This dataset was built by a community of scholars from 2010 to present. The method was simply to record adjectives (wherever they are encountered, in written form, in the world) that have been used in pre-nominal or post-nominal positions to modify the noun "democracy". A new version will be released once 4,000 entries is reached.
