# Dataset Card for Hugging Face Hub Dataset Cards

This datasets consists of [dataset cards](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/datasets-cards) for models hosted on the Hugging Face Hub. The dataset cards are created by the community and provide information about datasets hosted on the Hugging Face Hub. 
This dataset is updated on a daily basis and includes publicly available datasets on the Hugging Face Hub.

This dataset is made available to help support users wanting to work with a large number of Dataset Cards from the Hub. We hope that this dataset will help support research in the area of Dataset Cards and their use but the format of this dataset may not be useful for all use cases. If there are other features that you would like to see included in this dataset, please open a new [discussion](https://huggingface.co/datasets/librarian-bots/model_cards_with_metadata/discussions/new). 

## Dataset Details

### Dataset Description


- **Curated by:** Daniel van Strien
- **Language(s) (NLP):** Dataset cards on the Hugging Face Hub are predominantly in English but may include other languages.
  

## Uses

There are a number of potential uses for this dataset including:
- text mining to find common themes in dataset cards
- analysis of the dataset card format/content
- topic modelling of dataset cards
- training language models on the dataset cards


### Out-of-Scope Use


[More Information Needed]

## Dataset Structure

This dataset has a single split.

## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale

<!-- Motivation for the creation of this dataset. -->

The dataset was created to assist people in working with dataset cards. In particular it was created to support research in the area of dataset cards and their use. It is possible to use the Hugging Face Hub API or client library to download dataset cards and this option may be preferable if you have a very specific use case or require a different format.

### Source Data

The source data is `README.md` files for datasets hosted on the Hugging Face Hub. We do not include any other supplementary files that may be included in the dataset directory. 

#### Data Collection and Processing

<!-- This section describes the data collection and processing process such as data selection criteria, filtering and normalization methods, tools and libraries used, etc. -->

The data is downloaded using a CRON job on a daily basis. 

#### Who are the source data producers?

The source data producers are the creators of the dataset cards on the Hugging Face Hub. This includes a broad variety of people from the community ranging from large companies to individual researchers. We do not gather any information about who created the dataset card in this repository although this information can be gathered from the Hugging Face Hub API.

### Annotations [optional]

There are no additional annotations in this dataset beyond the dataset card content.

#### Annotation process

N/A


#### Who are the annotators?

<!-- This section describes the people or systems who created the annotations. -->

N/A

#### Personal and Sensitive Information

<!-- State whether the dataset contains data that might be considered personal, sensitive, or private (e.g., data that reveals addresses, uniquely identifiable names or aliases, racial or ethnic origins, sexual orientations, religious beliefs, political opinions, financial or health data, etc.). If efforts were made to anonymize the data, describe the anonymization process. -->

We make no effort to anonymize the data. Whilst we don't expect the majority of dataset cards to contain personal or sensitive information, it is possible that some dataset cards may contain this information. Dataset cards may also link to websites or email addresses. 

## Bias, Risks, and Limitations

<!-- This section is meant to convey both technical and sociotechnical limitations. -->

Dataset cards are created by the community and we do not have any control over the content of the dataset cards. We do not review the content of the dataset cards and we do not make any claims about the accuracy of the information in the dataset cards. 
Some dataset cards will themselves discuss bias and sometimes this is done by providing examples of bias in either the training data or the responses provided by the dataset. As a result this dataset may contain examples of bias. 

Whilst we do not directly download any images linked to in the dataset cards, some dataset cards may include images. Some of these images may not be suitable for all audiences.

### Recommendations

<!-- This section is meant to convey recommendations with respect to the bias, risk, and technical limitations. -->

Users should be made aware of the risks, biases and limitations of the dataset. More information needed for further recommendations.
