The Penn State Event Data Project (formerly Kansas Event Data System) is a long term project aimed at collecting events among political actors. The events are extracted from regular news reports in a semi-automatic fashion. Specifically, we use data encoding events in or around the Persian Gulf region in the time from 1979 to 1999 available at http://eventdata.psu.edu/data.dir/gulf.html under the link Gulf data coded from full stories.
