## 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)
