### Dataset Summary

The GermEval 2014 NER Shared Task builds on a new dataset with German Named Entity annotation with the following properties:    - The data was sampled from German Wikipedia and News Corpora as a collection of citations.    - The dataset covers over 31,000 sentences corresponding to over 590,000 tokens.    - The NER annotation uses the NoSta-D guidelines, which extend the Tübingen Treebank guidelines,      using four main NER categories with sub-structure, and annotating embeddings among NEs      such as [ORG FC Kickers [LOC Darmstadt]].

### Data Fields

The data fields are the same among all splits.

#### germeval_14
- `id`: a `string` feature.
- `source`: a `string` feature.
- `tokens`: a `list` of `string` features.
- `ner_tags`: a `list` of classification labels, with possible values including `O` (0), `B-LOC` (1), `I-LOC` (2), `B-LOCderiv` (3), `I-LOCderiv` (4).
- `nested_ner_tags`: a `list` of classification labels, with possible values including `O` (0), `B-LOC` (1), `I-LOC` (2), `B-LOCderiv` (3), `I-LOCderiv` (4).
