The headers should mainly be self-explanatory, but just in case:

Column Description
post_title Displayable title of the source post
post_author Author of the source post
post_url Canonical URL of source post, extracted from on post page
post_reference_count Number of times the source post has been referenced by other posts
ref_title Displayable title of the target post
ref_author Author of the target post
ref_url Canonical URL of target post, extracted from on post page
ref_reference_count Number of times the target post has been referenced by other posts

The title, author, and url fields are scraped data. The reference_count fields are metadata you could compute from this dataset. I'm just including them since this was a CSV export for a visualization program I'm trying out
