title: SciHyp: A Fine-grained Dataset Describing Hypotheses and Their Components from Scientific Articles

description: SciHyp is a dataset that supports researchers in understanding and identifying hypotheses in scientific literature, serving as a valuable resource across various scientific disciplines. SciHyp provides invaluable insights into the formulation and structure of hypotheses in scientific literature, making it a crucial resource for researchers in various scientific disciplines.

This repository contains the ontology and datasets described in our paper, SciHyp: A Fine-grained Dataset Describing Hypotheses and Their Components from Scientific Articles.

🚨 Important Update: The ontology and RDF data files have been updated and are now available on GitLab. The latest version will be uploaded here soon.

crowd.ttl: The data in this file has been curated utilizing the SciHyp pipeline, which employs a Hybrid-LLM-Crowd methodology described in the paper.

expert.ttl: Contrasting the crowd-sourced data, this file is composed of data curated through expert annotation. It reflects a more specialized and precise perspective, offering insights grounded in expert knowledge and analysis.

scihyp_VoiD.ttl: Serving as a metadata file containing a VoiD/DCAT description (Vocabulary of Interlinked Datasets/Data Catalog Vocabulary).

CrowdAlytics_7.4.owl: This file is the backbone of the dataset, outlining the underlying ontology that defines the structure and relationships within the SciHyp data.
