# Légifrance Legislative Text Dataset

## Dataset Description

The Légifrance Legislative Text Dataset is a structured collection of French legislative and regulatory texts extracted from the [Légifrance platform](https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/).
This dataset provides machine-readable access to consolidated legal codes, with a particular focus on maintaining the integrity of French linguistic features while providing additional metadata and quality signals.
The data in this dataset comes from the Git repository [Git Tricoteuses — La loi sous git - Codes juridiques consolidés](https://git.tricoteuses.fr/tricoteuses/a_propos)

### Languages

French (fr)

## Intended Uses & Limitations

### Intended Uses

- Legal text analysis and research
- Natural Language Processing tasks on French legislative documents
- Legal information retrieval systems
- Analysis of French regulatory frameworks

### Limitations

- Limited to French legislative texts
- Dependent on the structure of source Légifrance documents
- Quality of text extraction depends on the consistency of source markdown formatting

## Dataset Structure

### Data Fields

- `source`: string - Source of the text (e.g., "Code de la sécurité sociale")
- `id`: string - Unique identifier of the legislative text
- `date_debut`: string - Corresponds to the effective date of the article.
- `date_fin`: string - Indicates the date on which the article will be deleted or replaced.
- `url`: string - Direct link to the text on Légifrance
- `extra`: JSON string containing:
  - `État`: string - Status of the text
  - `Type`: string - Type of legislative text
- `quality_signals`: JSON string containing:
  - `character_count`: Total number of characters
  - `word_count`: Total number of words
- `text`: string - The main content of the legislative text

**Remarks**:

- For an article currently in force, with no scheduled date for its repeal or replacement, `date_fin` is set to '2999-01-01'.

- For an article whose enforcement is deferred without a specific date, `date_debut` is then assigned '2222-02-22'.

- If `date_fin` is specified and differs from '2999-01-01', the reference URL for the upcoming version of the article is constructed as `id`/`date_fin`.
  - For example, as of today, the article with `id` = 'LEGIARTI000046809143' and `date_fin` set to '2025-07-01' has its upcoming version accessible at the following URL:
    <https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/codes/article_lc/LEGIARTI000046809143/2025-07-01>

### Data Splits

The dataset is provided as a single split without train/validation/test partitioning.

## Dataset Creation

### Source Data

The data comes from the availability of legal texts as open data, retrieved by the [tricoteuses-legifrance](https://git.tricoteuses.fr/logiciels/tricoteuses-legifrance) project.

The dataset is created from Markdown files containing French legislative texts, each with YAML front matter metadata.

## Considerations for Using the Data

### Social Impact

- Improves accessibility to French legislative texts
- Enables computational analysis of legal documents
- Supports transparency in legal research

### Legal Considerations

- Usage should comply with Légifrance terms of service
- Attribution should be provided to the original source
- Users should verify the current validity of legal texts

## Additional Information

### Dataset Curators

This dataset is programmatically curated from official Légifrance sources.

### Licensing Information

Users should refer to Légifrance's licensing terms for the original content.

### Citation Information

When using this dataset, please cite both:

1. The original Légifrance source
2. This dataset processing implementation

### Contributions

Contributions to improve the dataset processing can be made through the repository's issue tracker or pull requests.
