Over my summer break from school, I've become interested in The Correlates of War series of studies. I figure the data from this particular project would be helpful in future papers.

Here is a link to the COW homepage,

However, I'm really at somewhat of loss in terms of correctly interpreting and potentially using the data as it sometimes appears disorganized to me.

If any fellow members of SWJ has experience with COW, please enlighten me in regards to how to use it.
