const GDELT_EVENT_COLUMNS: object

Defined in: src/sources/gdeltevents.urls.ts (declaration: sources/gdeltevents.urls.d.ts:13)

Zero-based fields in the headerless, tab-separated GDELT 2.0 event export. Names follow the publisher's Event Codebook so schema offsets stay auditable.

Column 25 is IsRootEvent, not EventCode — the CAMEO block starts at 26, and the ActionGeo block is led by ActionGeo_Type at 51 with the place name at 52. Offsets verified against a live .export.CSV slice.
