This dataset consists of 3 files: hand_annotated_sample.json contains a sample of 444 poems from the Quan Tang Shi and Quan Song Shi; these poems were pre-annotated by a Community annotator and manually reviewed / amended by the main author. hand_annotated_subsample_(author).json contains a sub-sample of the previous file, containing 44 poems (10%); the annotations therein are identical to the annotations in the file above. hand_annotated_subsample_(colleague).json contains the same sub-sample of 44 poems, but annotated by a colleague of the author. The aim is to assess human inter-annotator agreement for this type of poetry.
