The original dataset was put together by Erin Pierce and Ben Kahle for an assignment for a course on Bayesian statistics. The data included information on when characters died in the Song of Ice and Fire books, and some predictive factors such as whether they were nobles, married, etc. Shirin Glander extended this data set on character deaths in the TV series Game of Thrones with the kinship relationships between the characters, by scraping "A Wiki of Ice and Fire" and adding missing information by hand. There is certainly more that can be done here.
