-Account and repository IDs named `id`/`user_id` are local surrogates.
-Numeric GitHub IDs and constructed names/URLs are exposed by the SQL crosswalk view.
-Private profile text and social-link URLs are excluded. License and restricted add-on decisions remain with the author.
+Version 1.1.0. `data-dictionary.json` holds the same descriptions in machine-readable form.
+
+`id` and `user_id` are local keys of this dataset. `github_id` and `repository_id` are
+GitHub's numeric IDs. `crosswalk.sql` defines a view that adds owner logins, repository
+names and URLs to every repository row.
+
+Biographies, company, location, external links and the counts of followed accounts,
+organizations and sponsors were in the source database and are not released.
+
+All columns are nullable in the Parquet schema. NULL values occur only in
+`followers_count`, `concentration`, `effective_breadth` and `exclusion_reason`.
 
 ## `users`

+One row per account. 3,671,497 rows.
+
+| Field | Type | Meaning |
 | --- | --- | --- |
-| `id` | integer | Local account surrogate key, not the GitHub owner ID |
-| `github_id` | integer | GitHub numeric owner identifier |
-| `github_name` | string | Stored owner login, potentially different from its current login |
-| `created_at` | string | Collector account-row insertion timestamp, not GitHub registration time |

-| `h_index` | integer | Stored source h-index, independently recomputed in portfolios |
-| `repositories_fetched` | integer | Unchanged raw collector flag, including negative values |
-| `followers_count` | integer | Analysis value, NULL where the conservative profile-availability rule masks raw defaults |
-| `followers_count_raw` | integer | Unchanged raw source follower count, including collection defaults |
-| `retrieval_status` | string | Persisted collector-inferred class or explicit sidecar override; not independent rowset certification |

-| `retrieval_inference_basis` | string | Classification basis recorded by the pinned collector helper |
-| `retrieval_evidence_ref` | string | Collector source-code reference or explicit record-level evidence reference |
