- Breadth and scope: Curated, domain-spanning collection covering social–ecological exchanges, biomedical interactomes, neuronal connectomes, genetic/protein systems, coauthorship, transport, trade, and microbiomes.
- Multiplex structure and dynamics: Explicit layer semantics (2–364+ layers), directed/weighted edges, and temporal annotations where available—suited to multilayer centralities, diffusion models, and time-resolved analyses.
- Standardized, interoperable formats: Extended edgelists with layer indices and consistent naming; readily ingestible in Python/R/graph-tool/Gephi pipelines, with repository and DOI links per entry.
- Benchmarking across domains: Event-centric Twitter multiplexes and canonical social networks enable comparable tests for attention dynamics and information diffusion; other domains support cross-domain benchmarking.
- Analysis coverage: Supports disease reclassification (gene–symptom multiplexes), transport resilience and disruption modeling, trade flow analysis, coauthorship structure, and microbiome network inference.
- Provenance and compliance: Each dataset traces to maintained sources or peer-reviewed publications for transparent citation and reproducibility; social data use anonymized identifiers and adhere to platform/data-use policies.
