### Data Splits

No splits are provided for now since the relation classes are quite imbalanced.
To read the dataset you can adapt the function provided by https://github.com/Babelscape/rebel

```

        """This function returns the examples in the raw (text) form."""
        logging.info("generating examples from = %s", filepath)

        relations = list(relations_df[0])

## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale

This dataset was created to enable the training of a german BART based model as pre-training phase for Relation Extraction.

### Source Data


#### Who are the source language producers?

Any Wikipedia and Wikidata contributor.

### Annotations

#### Annotation process

The dataset extraction pipeline cRocoDiLe: Automatic Relation Extraction Dataset with NLI filtering.

#### Who are the annotators?

Automatic annottations

### Personal and Sensitive Information

All text is from Wikipedia, any Personal or Sensitive Information there may be present in this dataset.

## Considerations for Using the Data

### Social Impact of Dataset
The dataset serves as a pre-training step for Relation Extraction models. It is distantly annotated, hence it should only be used as such. A model trained solely on this dataset may produce allucinations coming from the silver nature of the dataset. 

### Discussion of Biases

Since the dataset was automatically created from Wikipedia and Wikidata, it may reflect the biases withing those sources.

For Wikipedia text, see for example Dinan et al 2020 on biases in Wikipedia (esp. Table 1), or Blodgett et al 2020 for a more general discussion of the topic.

For Wikidata, there are class imbalances, also resulting from Wikipedia.

### Other Known Limitations

Not for now

## Additional Information

### Dataset Curators

Me

### Licensing Information

Since anyone can create the dataset on their own using the linked GitHub Repository, I am going to use the MIT Licence.
