## Source data |
|
|
|
**How was the data generated?** |
|
|
|
- A crawler (see Open-Assistant repository) downloaded the raw HTML code for |
|
each eBook based on **Text#** id in the Gutenberg catalogue (if available) |
|
- The metadata and the body of text are not clearly separated so an additional |
|
parser attempts to split them, then remove transcriber's notes and e-book |
|
related information from the body of text (text clearly marked as copyrighted or |
|
malformed was skipped and not collected) |
|
- The body of cleaned TEXT as well as the catalogue METADATA is then saved as |
|
a parquet file, with all columns being strings |
|
|
|
**Copyright notice:** |
|
|
|
- Some of the books are copyrighted! The crawler ignored all books |
|
with an english copyright header by utilizing a regex expression, but make |
|
sure to check out the metadata for each book manually to ensure they are okay |
|
to use in your country! More information on copyright: |
|
https://www.gutenberg.org/help/copyright.html and |
|
https://www.gutenberg.org/policy/permission.html |
|
- Project Gutenberg has the following requests when using books without |
|
metadata: _Books obtianed from the Project Gutenberg site should have the |
|
following legal note next to them: "This eBook is for the use of anyone |
|
anywhere in the United States and most other parts of the world at no cost and |
|
with almost" no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or |
|
re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this |
|
eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org. If you are not located in the United |
|
States, you will have to check the laws of the country where you are located |
|
before using this eBook."_ |
