 # OALZ/1788/Q1/NER
 
-A named entity recognition system (NER) was trained on text extracted from _Oberdeutsche Allgemeine Litteraturzeitung_ (OALZ) of the first quarter (January, Febuary, March) of 1788. The scans from which text was extracted can be found at [Bayerische Staatsbibliothek](https://www.digitale-sammlungen.de/de/view/bsb10628753?page=,1). The extraction strategy of the _KEDiff_ project can be found at [`cborgelt/KEDiff`](https://github.com/cborgelt/KEDiff).

 ## Annotations
 
-Each text passage was annotated in [doccano](https://github.com/doccano/doccano) by two or three annotators and their annotations were cleaned and merged into one dataset. For details on how this was done, see [`LelViLamp/kediff-doccano-postprocessing`](https://github.com/LelViLamp/kediff-doccano-postprocessing). In total, the text consists of about 1.7m characters. The resulting annotation datasets were published on the Hugging Face Hub. There are two versions:

+- `annotation_id` was assigned internally by enumerating all annotations. This is not present in the JSONL format
 - `line_id` is the fragment of the subdivided text, as shown in doccano. Called `id` in the JSONL dataset.
 - `start` index of the first character that is annotated. Included, starts with 0.
 - `end` index of the last character that is annotated. Excluded, maximum value is `len(respectiveText)`.
 - `label` indicates what the passage indicated by $[start, end)$ was annotated as.
-- `label_text` contains the text that is annotated by $[start, end)$. This is not present in the JSONL dataset as it can be inferred from the `text` entry there.
-- `merged` indicates whether this annotation is the result of overlapping annotations of the same label. In that case, `annotation_id` contains the IDs of the individual annotations it was constructed of, separated by underscores. This value is not present in the JSONL dataset, and this column is redundant, as it can be inferred from `annotation_id`.

For example, in the passage "Dieses Projekt wurde an der Universität Salzburg durchgeführt", you would want to categorise "Universität Salzburg" as an organisation while also extracting "Salzburg" as a location.
 
-To achieve this overlap, each text passage must be run through all the classifiers individually and each classifier's results need to be combined. For details on how the training was done and examples of inference time, see [`LelViLamp/kediff-ner-training`](https://github.com/LelViLamp/kediff-ner-training).

 The [`dbmdz/bert-base-historic-multilingual-cased`](https://huggingface.co/dbmdz/bert-base-historic-multilingual-cased) tokeniser was used to create historical embeddings. Therefore, it is necessary to use that in order to use these NER models.
