About

The Aachen Higher-Order Repository of Networks (AHORN) aims to provide a comprehensive collection of higher-order network datasets, particularly focusing on simplicial complexes, cell complexes and hypergraphs. This repository is designed to facilitate research and development in the field of higher-order networks by offering a variety of datasets that can be used for benchmarking, testing algorithms, and exploring new concepts in network science.

The project is similar in spirit to graph repositories like ICON, SNAP, and Netzschleuder but specifically tailored for higher-order datasets.

White Paper

We are in the process of writing a white paper that details the design principles, data formats, and usage guidelines for AHORN. You can cite this upcoming white paper if you talk about the AHORN project in particular. However, it is not our intention to intercept citations for the primary dataset source, so please cite the papers indicated on the datasheet if you refer to a specific dataset.

Licensing

The datasets provided through AHORN consist of processed versions of data from original sources, made available under the premise that such redistribution aligns with the original authors' intent to promote open scientific research and knowledge sharing. Should any author wish to not have their datasets listed in this repository, we encourage them to contact us so that we can take appropriate action. The upstream sources are always cited on the respective datasheet, and we encourage users to refer to the original publications when utilizing the datasets.
