description: The Kansas Event Data System (KEDS) is a program for the machine coding of international event data using pattern recognition and simple grammatical parsing. It is designed to work with short news articles such as those found in wire service reports or chronologies. To date, KEDS has primarily been used to code WEIS events from Reuters wire service lead sentences but in principle it can be used for other event coding schemes. There is also an e-mail list.

The links have been changed since the last update, the new pages do not contain the same information as the old ones.
