# Dataset Card for "domsdatabasen"

## Dataset Description

- **Point of Contact:** [Oliver Kinch](mailto:oliver.kinch@alexandra.dk)
- **Size of dataset:** 199 MB

### Dataset Summary

[Domsdatabasen](https://domsdatabasen.dk/) is a database where you can find and read selected judgments delivered by the Danish Courts. 

Each judgment/case consists of tabular data and a case-descriptive PDF. This dataset collects all these cases, with each sample describing a specific judgment/case.

The PDFs are anonymized to protect sensitive information. Therefore, each sample includes two text versions: 
- `text_anon` (with anonymization tags: \<anonym\>"Some sensitive text"\</anonym\>).
- `text` (without anonymization tags).

`text_anon` is read with [Easyocr](https://github.com/JaidedAI/EasyOCR).

`text` is read with [Easyocr](https://github.com/JaidedAI/EasyOCR) or [Tika-python](https://github.com/chrismattmann/tika-python) 
depending on the PDF and the anonymization method used.

`text_anon` will be empty if no anonymization is detected in the PDF.

### Languages

The dataset is available in Danish (`da`).

## Dataset Structure

An example from the dataset looks as follows.

```
{
  "case_id": "id of case/judgment",
  "tabular_data": {
    "Overskift": "some title",
    "Sagstype": "type of case",
    ...
}
  "text": "pdf text",
  "text_anon": "anonymized pdf text"
  "text_len": <number of chars in text>,
  "text_anon_len": <number of chars in anonymized text>
}
```


### Data Fields

- `case_id`: a `string` feature.
- `tabular_data`: a `dict` feature.
- `text`: a `string` feature.
- `text_anon`: a `string` feature.
- `text_len`: an `int` feature.
- `text_anon_len`: an `int` feature.


### Dataset Statistics

#### Size of dataset

With the PDF texts being provided in two versions, `text` and `text_anon`, the total size of all PDF texts is approximately ~199//2 MB.

#### Number of samples

- 3919

#### PDF Text Length Distribution

Statistics based on `text`.

- Minimum length: 192
- Maximum length: 2101736
