Nothing clever, mostly the raw data from the site with a few other bits and
peices from elsewhere. The database is far from complete but my point is
that taking raw data, produced with great effort by Ted Larson and others,
and sorting it in different ways as any database allows, very quickly shows
up patterns and connections which would never be seen otherwise or only with
even more great manual effort.
