pretty_name: Liechtenstein legal text dataset
size_categories:
- 1K<n<10K
The regulations (legal articles) as well as other legal data are contained inside this dataset in text form. Only one column called “text” is contained in the dataset. The dataset is intended to be used for continual pretraining of a language model on legal data from Liechtenstein. The dataset is published exclusively in German language and around 5’700 rows are included in the dataset. The relatively low number of 5700 rows can be explained by the fact that each legal regulation is being uploaded by HuggingFace as one row, meaning all regulations together form 223 rows inside the dataset.
The dataset is intended as is to be used for pretraining. However, further data cleaning is neccessary to get satisfactory results, since empty lines exist and the text inside the lines contains formatting errors like misspelled words or missing spaces, as most of the text is generated from PDFs via OCR.
The sources used for creating the dataset are listed below. All sources are public and can be accessed via web-links.
