# The Info Web > An archive of intelligence operations, government programs, parapsychology, and political scandals, with references and connections between the people and organizations involved. 3,521 cross-linked entries. Every entry links to related entries; the dataset is structured as a graph. Entity pages live under `/people/`, `/organizations/`, `/programs/`, `/events/`, `/concepts/`, `/places/`, `/sources/`. Each page has a summary, body, related-entity grid, and a local network graph centered on that entity. **Clean markdown companions:** every HTML entity page at `///` has a markdown sibling at `//.md`. Each `.md` file contains the original frontmatter plus the body with wikilinks rewritten to absolute site URLs. Prefer these over scraping the HTML. They are also advertised via `` in the HTML head. ## Browse by type - [People](https://theinfoweb.org/people/): 2,109 person entries - [Organizations](https://theinfoweb.org/organizations/): 778 organization entries - [Programs](https://theinfoweb.org/programs/): 79 program entries - [Events](https://theinfoweb.org/events/): 146 event entries - [Concepts](https://theinfoweb.org/concepts/): 168 concept entries - [Places](https://theinfoweb.org/places/): 229 place entries - [Sources](https://theinfoweb.org/sources/): cited documents and references ## Network and graph tools - [Network graph](https://theinfoweb.org/network/): interactive force-directed graph of the full entity network - [Path finder](https://theinfoweb.org/path/): a chain of documented connections between any two entities, steering around the mega-hubs - [Bridges](https://theinfoweb.org/bridges/): entries cited from the most distinct community clusters, plus PageRank hubs - [Clusters](https://theinfoweb.org/clusters/): Louvain communities of the link graph, each named after its most-mentioned members - [Tags](https://theinfoweb.org/tags/): browse by tag - [Timeline](https://theinfoweb.org/timeline/): entries ordered chronologically by primary year ## High-centrality entries A sampling of the most heavily cross-referenced entries, useful anchors for orientation. ### People - [Jeffrey Epstein](https://theinfoweb.org/people/jeffrey-epstein/): Jeffrey Epstein was an American financier and convicted sex offender who trafficked girls with Ghislaine Maxwell across five residences, cultivated financiers, politicians, scientists and intellige… - [Ronald Reagan](https://theinfoweb.org/people/ronald-reagan/): Fortieth President of the United States (1981-1989) whose 1980 campaign, Contra policy, Iran arms sales and Justice Department were the subject of the October Surprise, Iran-Contra and INSLAW inqui… - [John F.
