This NER dataset comes from the following publication.
Stutzmann, D., Torres Aguilar, S., & Chaffenet, P. (2021). HOME-Alcar: Aligned and Annotated Cartularies [Data set]. Zenodo. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5600884
I have used my the Notebook convert.ipynb to convert it from the original format to spaCy's format. The notebook expects the Database download from the link above to be in the root directory.
The dataset contains nested spans. This is important because specific individual's identities are often tied to a specific place. This means that the location entity is part of the person identity. To keep this nuance, the dataset should be used with the spaCy SpanCat pipe.
