The SCC Explorer Platform with all its parts is the fruit of several years of work involving many people in various stages including conceptualisation of the various projects and other resources,
archival, historical and legal-historical research, software engineering, data curation, validation and visualization. In accordance with the Max Planck Society's Open Access Policy and its rules of
good scientific practice, these research results are freely available according to the terms set out in this document. This concerns layout, graphics, text and other contents of the website, but it
also extends to primary data, data models and executable code responsible for ingesting, processing, analysing, and publishing data:
