CzechVOC Dataset

The CzechVOC dataset is a structured collection of legal terms and their definitions, curated to support the Czech e-Sbírka system—a digital repository for Czech laws and international treaties. This dataset serves as a comprehensive vocabulary, facilitating consistent referencing and understanding of legal concepts within the Czech legal framework.

Dataset Structure

The dataset comprises entries with the following columns:

  1. Index: A unique identifier for each term. (just counter)
  2. Legal Term: The specific legal term or concept.
  3. Definition: A detailed explanation or description of the legal term.

Data Collection Methodology

The dataset was compiled using a web scraping approach, targeting the e-Sbírka website. The process involved:

Navigating Legal Terms: Accessing pages listing valid legal terms. Extracting Term Details: For each term, retrieving its name and corresponding definition. Data Storage: Organizing the collected data into a structured format with the specified columns.

Notes

  • Please be advised that some definitions are not currently valid, they are only annotated in text with a time span. Only definitions containing starting date are currently valid.
  • This dataset might be used as precursor for synthetic dataset (but the invalid terms must be filtered)
