The license of the data is Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0) or Universal Public Domain Dedication (CC0 1.0)

Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

This dataset can be used for Catalan language modeling, text generation experiments, document classification experiments, search, and content analysis. It is not associated with a public leaderboard.

Languages

Catalan (ca).

Dataset Structure

Data Instances

Each instance is a JSON object representing either a Softcatala website article or a software/program description.

Data Fields

JSON (name/value pairs) format with the following fields:

• content: article body or program description.
• date: publication or update date.
• id: source content identifier.
• title: article or program title.

Data Splits

One file for the descriptions text and one for the articles text.

Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

The dataset exposes Softcatala website content as reusable Catalan text for language technology experiments and analysis.

Source Data

Initial Data Collection and Normalization

The data was exported from the Softcatala WordPress administration interface. Raw exports are filtered to remove sensitive data and converted to JSON using the processing scripts in the source repository.

Who are the source language producers?

Softcatalà community.

Annotations

Annotation process

No additional linguistic annotation is added.

Who are the annotators?

Not applicable.

Personal and Sensitive Information

The source repository documents a filtering step for sensitive data before JSON generation. The resulting articles and descriptions may still contain public names, URLs, organizations, or references that appear in published Softcatala website content.

Considerations for Using the Data

Social Impact of Dataset

The dataset supports Catalan language technology by providing reusable website text from a Catalan-language technology community.

Discussion of Biases

The dataset is biased toward Softcatala's areas of activity: free software, localization, language technology, digital rights, software descriptions, and Catalan technology news.

Other Known Limitations

The corpus is relatively small and domain-specific. It should not be treated as a representative sample of general Catalan web text.
