Also, it includes translation units for the languages Irish (Gaelige, GA), Norwegian (Norsk, NO) and Icelandic (IS). ### Source Data #### Initial Data Collection and Normalization ECDC-TM was built on the basis of the website of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). The major part of the documents talks about health-related topics (anthrax, botulism, cholera, dengue fever, hepatitis, etc.), but some of the web pages also describe the organisation ECDC (e.g. its organisation, job opportunities) and its activities (e.g. epidemic intelligence, surveillance). #### Who are the source language producers? All documents and sentences were originally written in English, by the ECDC website content producers. ### Annotations #### Annotation process [More Information Needed] #### Who are the annotators? All documents and sentences were thus originally written in English. They were then translated into the other languages by professional translators from the Translation Centre CdT in Luxembourg. ### Personal and Sensitive Information [More Information Needed] ## Considerations for Using the Data ### Social Impact of Dataset Contains translations of sentences in the public healthcare domain, including technical terms (disease and treatment names for example). ### Discussion of Biases [More Information Needed] ### Other Known Limitations [More Information Needed] ## Additional Information ### Dataset Curators [More Information Needed] ### Licensing Information Copyright © EU / ECDC, 2020 #### Copyright The Work (as defined below) is provided under the terms of this Licence (or later versions of this Licence published by the European Commission).
