+### Dataset Summary
+
+This is an SDQC stance-annotated Reddit dataset for the Danish language generated within a thesis project. The dataset consists of 3,007 Reddit posts across 11 different subjects, making up 33 Reddit submissions, or 1,161 individual branches.
+
+16 submissions were annotated as rumourous, i.e. the source post initiates some rumour. With 220 Reddit conversations, or 596 branches, this is equivalent to approximately half of the dataset.
+
+The dataset is applicable for supervised stance classification and rumour veracity prediction.

+### Data Fields
+
+- `id`: a `string` feature.
+- `native_id`: a `string` feature representing the native ID of the entry.
+- `text`: a `string` of the comment text in which stance is annotated.
+- `parent_id`: the `native_id` of this comment's parent.
+- `parent_text`: a `string` of the parent comment's text.
+- `parent_stance`: the label of the stance in the comment towards its parent comment.
+
+```
+                            0: "Supporting",
+                            1: "Denying",
+                            2: "Querying",
+                            3: "Commenting",
+```
+
+- `source_id`: the `native_id` of this comment's source / post.
+- `source_text`: a `string` of the source / post text.
+- `source_stance`: the label of the stance in the comment towards the original source post.
+
+```
+                            0: "Supporting",
+                            1: "Denying",

+
+### Data Splits
+
+|  name   |size|
+|---------|----:|
+|train|3122|
+|validation|1066|
+|test|1066|
+
+These splits are specified after the original reserach was reported. The splits add an extra level of rigour, in that no source posts' comment tree is spread over more than one partition.
+
+## Dataset Creation
+
+### Curation Rationale
+
+Comments around rumourous claims to enable rumour and stance analysis in Danish
+
+### Source Data
+
+#### Initial Data Collection and Normalization
+
+The data is from Reddit posts that relate to one of a specific set of news stories; these stories are enumerated in the paper. 
+
+#### Who are the source language producers?
+
+Danish-speaking Twitter users.
+
+### Annotations
+
+#### Annotation process
+
+There was multi-user annotation process mediated through a purpose-built interface for annotating stance in Reddit threads.
+
+#### Who are the annotators?
+
+* Age: 20-30.
+* Gender: male.
+* Race/ethnicity: white northern European.
+* Native language: Danish.
+* Socioeconomic status: higher education student.
+
+### Personal and Sensitive Information
+
+The data was public at the time of collection. User names are not preserved.
+
+## Considerations for Using the Data
+
+### Social Impact of Dataset
+
+There's a risk of user-deleted content being in this data. The data has NOT been vetted for any content, so there's a risk of harmful text.
+
+### Discussion of Biases
+
+The source of the text has a strong demographic bias, being mostly young white men who are vocal their opinions. This constrains both the styles of language and discussion contained in the data, as well as the topics discussed and viewpoints held.
+
+### Other Known Limitations
+
+The above limitations apply.
+
+## Additional Information
+
+### Dataset Curators
+
+The dataset is curated by the paper's authors.

+### Licensing Information
