Dataset Card for HuggingFace-CJK-Metadata
Dataset Summary
This dataset provides structured metadata and documentation extracted from the top 700 most downloaded datasets per language on the Hugging Face Hub for Chinese (zh), Japanese (ja), Korean (ko), and English (en, as a reference). The collection includes both high-level metadata (e.g., size, license, task type) and raw dataset card contents, enabling large-scale, cross-linguistic analysis of data curation, documentation quality, and cultural development patterns in East Asian NLP communities. All download statistics were recorded on January 28, 2025, and the dataset includes a total of 3,300+ entries spanning metadata and documentation fields.
Supported Tasks
This dataset is intended for:
- Dataset ecosystem analysis
- Meta-evaluation of documentation quality
- Cultural and institutional analysis of NLP practices across languages
- Visualization and benchmarking of dataset trends
Languages
- zh – Chinese
- ja – Japanese
- ko – Korean
- en – English (reference baseline)
Dataset Structure
The dataset contains two main components: structured metadata and full dataset card content, each organized by language (English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean).
