| # Miklamálgrunnurin: Faroese MegaWord Corpus, MMG-2026-open |
|
|
| MMG-2026-open is the downloadable selection of Miklamálgrunnurin: Faroese MegaWord Corpus (MMG-2026), published by Máltøknidepilin, Fróðskaparsetur Føroya. It includes only subcorpora whose licenses or permissions allow redistribution. The full corpus is searchable at [miklamal.setur.fo](https://miklamal.setur.fo/?mode=MMG2026). |
|
|
| ## Contents |
|
|
| - Words: 58,982,165 |
| - Tokens: 70,600,361 |
| - TEI records: 458,740 |
| - XML files: 105,918 |
| - Corpora: 65 |
|
|
| Words count XML `w` elements; tokens include words and punctuation (`w` + `pc`). TEI records count individual texts or snippets. XML files count the physical files: a standalone document contains one record, while a `teiCorpus` collection can contain many. |
|
|
| Generated headings are excluded. Counts describe the files included in this repository. |
|
|
| Folder names use the English corpus and group titles, in lowercase with underscores. Original corpus IDs are retained in [manifest.json](manifest.json) and the XML. |
|
|
| Groups: [public_sector_information](public_sector_information/README.md), [poetry](poetry/README.md), [laws](laws/README.md), [journals_and_report_series](journals_and_report_series/README.md), [reference_works](reference_works/README.md), [religious_texts](religious_texts/README.md), [spoken_language](spoken_language/README.md), [essays](essays/README.md). |

| ## License |
|
|
| MMG's original documentation, metadata and linguistic annotations are licensed under [CC BY 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). Source texts and third-party material retain their existing terms. Adaptations subject to ShareAlike remain subject to those requirements. |
|
|
| Source texts have different licenses and other terms of use. See [LICENSES.md](LICENSES.md), the corpus LICENSE.md files and the rights statements in the XML. |
|
|
| ## XML format |
|
|
| Each full document is a TEI P5 XML file. Short text records share `teiCorpus` files, with common metadata in the collection header. Headers are in Faroese and English. Words carry lemmas and morphological tags, assigned automatically using [Bendingar](https://bendingar.fo/) and [BRAGD](https://huggingface.co/Setur/BRAGD). See [the format notes](schemas/README.md) for the XML structure, dates, identifiers and validation. |
|
|
| Download XML and documentation: |
|
|
| ```bash |
| hf download Setur/MMG-2026 --repo-type dataset --exclude '*.jsonl*' --local-dir MMG-2026 |
| ``` |
|
|
| For one corpus, add `--include 'CORPUS_FOLDER/**'`, using its folder from [manifest.json](manifest.json). |
|
|
| ## JSONL formats |
|
|
| [MMG-2026-text.jsonl](MMG-2026-text.jsonl) contains running text and document |
| metadata. [MMG-2026-annotated.jsonl](MMG-2026-annotated.jsonl) adds tokens, lemmas, |
| morphological tags and passage boundaries. Each line is one XML record, retaining |
| its ID and XML path. Shared descriptions, credits and license terms are in |
| [metadata.json](metadata.json). Filter records using `group` and `corpus`. |
|
|
| Download text and shared metadata; replace `text` with `annotated` for annotations: |
|
|
| ```bash |
| hf download Setur/MMG-2026 MMG-2026-text.jsonl metadata.json --repo-type dataset --local-dir MMG-2026 |
| ``` |
|
|
| Or stream it in Python; use `"annotated"` for the annotated format: |
|
|
| ```python |
| from datasets import load_dataset |
| texts = load_dataset("Setur/MMG-2026", "text", split="train", streaming=True) |
| ``` |
|
|
| `train` contains the full collection; no train/test division is provided. |
