Every row links to its own entry, which carries the evidence, the confidence and the date it was last checked. The method behind all of it is on how the index is made, and reuse terms are on the licence page. Take the table: electronics-recall-mix.csv — every row with its market code, its record and the source, so it can be checked after it has been pasted somewhere else.
