2. Load the dataset with the python json module

For best compatibility, we recommend moving the contents of this dataset repository in the ELQM /data directory.

import os
import json

data_directory = 'data/eur_lex_data'
data = []
for json_file in os.listdir(data_directory):
    with open(os.path.join(data_directory, json_file), 'r') as f:
        data.append(json.load(f))

3. Preprocess the data

The data contains raw html thay may be further processed with beautifulsoup or similar libraries.
