  ## Dataset Summary
22
  This dataset consists of structured metadata from the British Library [19th Century Digitised Books Collection](https://bl.iro.bl.uk/collections/b7fd2482-debd-4495-9494-72aa2ead00bb) (henceforth **blbooks**), a large collection of digitized books in the public domain.

  It has been created from the [OCR derived text + metadata version](https://doi.org/10.23636/r7w6-zy15) (henceforth **blbooks_derived**) of the [original dataset](https://bl.iro.bl.uk/collections/b7fd2482-debd-4495-9494-72aa2ead00bb), which is released under CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain license. The complete implementation code is available at: [https://github.com/Text-Machine/data-processing-code](https://github.com/Text-Machine/data-processing-code).

- We have processed the records to include a genre label (`fiction` or `non-fiction`) assigned by [Gemma4-31b-it](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-4-31B-it) based on the title. We also used the [`dedupe`](https://dedupe.io/) library to perform fuzzy string matching for duplicate detection. All duplicated records are grouped under the same `book_id`, and the one with the highest OCR quality is flagged as `best_version`.
