- **Language**: dan, dansk, Danish

- **Number of tokens (Llama 3)**: 4.26B
- **Average document length (characters)**: 14755.73
### Dataset Summary
The Danish dynaword is a continually developed collection of Danish free-form text datasets from various domains. It is intended to be continually updated with new data sources. If you would like to contribute a dataset see the [contribute section](#contributing-to-the-dataset)
### Loading the dataset
```py
from datasets import load_dataset
name = "danish-foundation-models/danish-dynaword"
ds = load_dataset(name, split = "train")
sample = ds[1] # see "Data Instances" below
```
or load it by streaming the data
```py
ds = load_dataset(name, split = "train", streaming=True)
dataset_iter = iter(ds)
sample = next(iter(dataset_iter))
```
You can also load a single subset at a time:
```py
ds = load_dataset(name, "adl", split = "train")
```
As Danish Dynaword is continually expanding and curated you can make sure that you get the same dataset every time by specifying the revision:
You can also load a single subset at a time:
```py
ds = load_dataset(name, revision="{desired revision}")
```
### Languages:
This dataset includes the following languages:
- dan-Latn
- dan-Latn-bornholm
- dan-Latn-synnejyl
Language is denoted using [BCP-47](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IETF_language_tag), using the langauge code ISO 639-3 and the script code ISO 15924. The last element denote the region variant.
## Dataset Structure
The dataset contains text from different sources which are thoroughly defined in [Source Data](#source-data).
### Data Instances
Each entry in the dataset consists of a single text with associated metadata
```py
{
"id": "adl_aakjaer06val",
"text": "SAMLEDE VÆRKER\n\nJEPPE AAKJÆR GYLDENDALSKE BOGHANDEL - NORDISK FORLAG KJØBENHAVN OG\nKRISTIANIA 1919 0[...]",
"source": "adl",
"added": "2020-09-14",
"created": "1700-01-01, 2022-01-01",
"token_count": 439908
}
```
### Data Fields
An entry in the dataset consists of the following fields:
- `id` (`str`): An unique identifier for each document.
- `text`(`str`): The content of the document.
- `source` (`str`): The source of the document (see [Source Data](#source-data)).
- `added` (`str`): An date for when the document was added to this collection.
- `created` (`str`): An date range for when the document was originally created.
- `token_count` (`int`): The number of tokens in the sample computed using the Llama 8B tokenizer
### Data Splits
The entire corpus is provided in the `train` split.
## Dataset Creation
### Curation Rationale
These datasets were collected and curated with the intention of making openly license Danish data available. While this was collected with the intention of developing language models it is likely to have multiple other uses such as examining language development and differences across domains.
### Annotations
This data generally contains no annotation besides the metadata attached to each sample such as what domain it belongs to.
### Source Data
Below follows a brief overview of the sources in the corpus along with their individual license.

### Data Collection and Processing
The data collection and processing varies depending on the dataset and is documentationed the individual datasheets, which is linked in the above table. If possible the collection is documented both in the datasheet and in the reproducible script (`data/{dataset}/create.py`).
In addition to data specific processing we also run a series automated quality checks to ensure formatting (e.g. ensuring correctly formatted columns and unique IDs), quality checks (e.g. duplicate and empty string detection) and datasheet documentation checks. These checks are there to ensure a high quality of documentation and a minimal level of quality. To allow for the development of novel cleaning methodologies we do not provide more extensive cleaning.
### Dataset Statistics
