Data-driven multilayer complex networks of sustainable development goals

Abstract

This data article presents the formulation of multilayer network for modelling the interconnections among the sustainable development goals (SDGs), targets and includes the correlation based linking of the sustainable development indicators with the available long-term datasets of The World Bank, 2018 [1]. The spatial distribution of the time series data allows creating country-specific sustainability assessments. In the related research article “Network Model-Based Analysis of the Goals, Targets and Indicators of Sustainable Development for Strategic Environmental Assessment” [2] the similarities of SDGs for ten regions have been modelled in order to improve the quality of strategic environmental assessments. The datasets of the multilayer networks are available on Mendeley [3].

The Role of Societal Aspects in the Formation of Official COVID-19 Reports: A Data-Driven Analysis

“…Note that the adjacency matrix defines a network, where the vertices are the selected variables ( ), edges are indicated by the nonzero values ( ), and their weight is the absolute rank correlation between the selected variables ( ). (Note that the same strategy was applied by, e.g., [ 15 , 16 ], to visualize variable similarity.)…”

The Role of Societal Aspects in the Formation of Official COVID-19 Reports: A Data-Driven Analysis

“…Note that the adjacency matrix A defines a network, where the vertices are the selected variables ( V = X ), edges are indicated by the nonzero values ( e ij ∈ E ⇔ [ A ] ij = a ij > 0) and their weight is the absolute rank correlation between the selected variables ( w : E → ℝ + , w ( i, j ) = a ij ). (Note that the same strategy was applied by, e.g., [13] and [14], to visualize variable similarity. )…”

Sustainable Condition of the Agricultural Sector’s Environmental, Economic, and Social Components from the Perspective of Open Innovation

“…Sustainability in these dimensions may be difficult to reconcile because each will have a different time-scale and perspective in each context [42]. Moreover, what is defined as "sustainable" depends to some extent on the perspectives of the analysts [37,38,53]. Therefore, many scientists have described the sustainability of the agriculturalindustrial complex (AIC) in terms of quality characteristics [38,39,52].…”

“…The set of indicators for assessing the sustainable development of the agricultural sector was formed on the basis of the following sources [38,42,53 The experts also assessed the ampleness of the suggested set of indicators for estimating sustainability of agricultural development by components such as economic, environmental and social development. In the 10-point scale, 10 meant that the suggested set of indicators was sufficient for assessing sustainable development of agriculture, as it does not need to be supplemented by other indicators that are not included in the list; 0 meant that it was not appropriate to use the suggested set of indicators for assessment, and that there are more significant indicators, according to experts, that are not included in the list that characterize the sustainable development of agriculture.…”
