# Dataset Description

<!-- Provide a longer summary of what this dataset is. -->

The most up to date data can be found here: https://huggingface.co/datasets/guust-franssens/belgian-journal
Due to the different languages in Belgium, I decided to create three datasets belgian-journal/moniteur-belge/belgisch-staatsblad in order to make it more visible.

Dataset contains the metadata + the text of bylaw publications of Belgian companies on the Belgian Journal (Moniteur Belge/Belgisch Staatstblad).
This data was collected by webscraping the [Belgian Journal](https://www.ejustice.just.fgov.be/cgi_tsv/rech.pl?language=nl), for more info see: https://github.com/Guust-Franssens/belgian-journal.

- **Language(s) (NLP):** French, Dutch and a small subset German (official languages of Belgium.)
- **License:** apache-2.0
