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.

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. ## Citation Cite this downloadable selection.
