Books Named Entity Recognition (NER) Dataset

A lightweight Named‑Entity‑Recognition (NER) corpus built from titles and author names contained in Project Gutenberg’s public catalogues. It is intended for training or benchmarking entity extractors such as Gliner on bibliographic metadata.

1 Provenance

This dataset provenance originates from Project Gutenberg's public catalogue.

2 Quick facts


Records (total)	434 925
Train split	391 432 queries
Eval split	43 493 queries
Tokens / record	6 – 30 (median ≈ 14)
NER labels	`title`, `author`
Source	`GUTINDEX.ALL` and yearly `GUTINDEX.20xx` files downloaded 18 April 2025 from `rsync://ftp.gutenberg.org`
Language coverage	English only
License	CC0 1.0 Public‑Domain Dedication

3 Dataset description

3.1 Origin of the data

Project Gutenberg publishes yearly plain‑text catalogues (GUTINDEX) listing eBook ID – Title – Author. These catalogues are public and do not contain the full texts.
We parsed those files and turned each one into several synthetic “user queries” (patterns such as “Looking for [Title] from [Author].” or “Any recommendations by [Author]?”).

3.2 Fields

Field	Type	Description
`tokenized_text`	`List[str]`	The query tokens.
`ner`	`List[[int,int,str]]`	Spans in token indices (inclusive) and the label (`title` / `author`).

Example:

{
  "tokenized_text": [
    "Looking", "for", "La", "conqueste", "du", "chasteau", "d", "'", "amours", "conquestee", "par", "l", "'", "umilité", "du", "beau", "doulx", ",", "the", "title", "from", "Anonymous", "."
  ],
  "ner": [
    [2, 16, "title"],
    [21, 21, "author"]
  ]
}

3.3 Splits

The corpus is provided in two separate files:

train.jsonl — 391 432 synthetic queries
eval.jsonl — 43 493 synthetic queries

4 How to load

from datasets import load_dataset

ds_train = load_dataset("empathyai/books-ner-dataset", split="train")
ds_eval  = load_dataset("empathyai/books-ner-dataset", split="eval")

5 Licensing and legal basis (EU)

5.1 Why the data are in the public domain

Factual nature — Book titles and author names are mere facts. Under EU law (CJEU Infopaq C‑5/08 and Art. 2 InfoSoc‑Directive 2001/29/EC) facts and very short expressions lacking originality are not protected by copyright.
No sui generis database right — The maker of Project Gutenberg’s catalogue is a U.S. entity; the EU database right (Directive 96/9/EC) only protects databases whose maker is established in the EU.

5.2 License chosen

To reflect the public‑domain status worldwide we apply the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Public‑Domain Dedication. You may copy, modify, distribute and use the dataset for any purpose without asking permission.
