# Standard Ebooks JSONL

This dataset is a JSONL conversion of the Hugging Face dataset
[`Nelathan/standardebooks`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Nelathan/standardebooks).
The source dataset contains full-text public domain books sourced from
[Standard Ebooks](https://standardebooks.org).

## Dataset Structure

The dataset has one split, `train`, stored as two JSONL shards:

- `data/train-00000-of-00002.jsonl` - 617 rows
- `data/train-00001-of-00002.jsonl` - 616 rows

Each line is a JSON object with the same fields as the source parquet dataset:

- `link`: URL of the Standard Ebooks GitHub repository for the book
- `title`: book title
- `author`: author or authors
- `text`: full extracted book text, formatted as Markdown
- `language`: language code, such as `en-GB`

## Source

The underlying texts come from public domain works maintained by
