Data description
GDELT 2.0 contains three tables: Events, Mentions, and the Global Knowledge Graph (GKG). In both Mentions and the GKG, each row in the table is an article about an event; the difference seems to be that the GKG contains more columns. On the other hand, in Events each row is an event, and only the first article that mentions the event is stored.
