The SciArg dataset is an extension of the Dr. Inventor corpus (Fisas et al., 2015, 2016) with an annotation layer containing 
fine-grained argumentative components and relations. It is the first argument-annotated corpus of scientific 
publications (in English), which allows for joint analyses of argumentation and other rhetorical dimensions of 
scientific writing.

### Dataset Summary

The SciArg dataset is an extension of the Dr. Inventor corpus (Fisas et al., 2015, 2016) with an annotation layer containing 
fine-grained argumentative components and relations. It is the first argument-annotated corpus of scientific 
publications (in English), which allows for joint analyses of argumentation and other rhetorical dimensions of 
scientific writing.

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

[More Information Needed](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#how-to-contribute-to-the-dataset-cards)

### Languages

The language in the dataset is English.

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

[More Information Needed]

### Data Fields

- `document_id`: the base file name, e.g. "A28"
- `text`: the parsed text of the scientific publication in the XML format
- `text_bound_annotations`: span annotations that mark argumentative discourse units (ADUs). Each entry has the following fields: `offsets`, `text`, `type`, and `id`.
- `relations`: binary relation annotations that mark the argumentative relations that hold between a head and a tail ADU. Each entry has the following fields: `id`, `head`, `tail`, and `type` where `head` and `tail` each have the fields: `ref_id` and `role`. 

### Data Splits

The dataset consists of a single `train` split that has 40 documents.
