 ### Data Fields
 
 List and describe the fields present in the dataset. Mention their data type, and whether they are used as input or output in any of the tasks the dataset currently supports. If the data has span indices, describe their attributes, such as whether they are at the character level or word level, whether they are contiguous or not, etc. If the datasets contains example IDs, state whether they have an inherent meaning, such as a mapping to other datasets or pointing to relationships between data points.
 
-- `image`: a scanned image of the physical page
-- `docId`: an integer representing the unique id of each page
-- `docTitle`: a string containing the title of the book/protocol that the page belongs to
-- `sequence`: description of `example_field`
+- `id`: an integer representing the unique id of each page
+- `image`: a jpeg image containing a scan of the original physical page
+- `title`: a string containing both the title of the book/protocol to which the page belongs, plus an optional page-range, indicating which document-chunk the page belongs to  
+- `sequence`: an integer representing the specific pagenumber of the page within the current page chunk
 - `alto`: an xml-encoded string containing layout and content information of the physical page, stored in [ALTO XML, version 4.2](https://www.loc.gov/standards/alto/v4/alto-4-2.xsd)
 - `page`: an xml-encoded string containing layout and content information of the physical page, stored in [PAGE XML, version 2013-07-15](https://www.primaresearch.org/schema/PAGE/gts/pagecontent/2013-07-15/pagecontent.xsd)
 
-Note that the descriptions can be initialized with the **Show Markdown Data Fields** output of the [Datasets Tagging app](https://huggingface.co/spaces/huggingface/datasets-tagging), you will then only need to refine the generated descriptions.

 ## Dataset Creation
 
 ### Curation Rationale
 
 The dataset originates from a need to make physical public protocols discoverable via fulltext search and filtering.
 
+
 ### Source Data
 
-The source data consists of written minutes from different Parish Council meetings, dating from 1879 to 1933.
+The source data consists of written minutes from different City and Parish Council meetings, dating from 1841 to 1939.
+
 
 #### Initial Data Collection and Normalization
 
 The original physical minutes where collected and curated as part of the judiciary demands of the city archives in Denmark.
 
-If the data was modified or normalized after being collected (e.g. if the data is word-tokenized), describe the process and the tools used.
 
 #### Who are the source language producers?
 
-The digitized and transcribed minutes were originally written by the secretaries of the individual Parish Councils.
+The digitized and transcribed minutes were originally written by the secretaries of the individual City and Parish Councils.
 
 The layout segmentation and transcription of the digitized minutes is primarily done by volenteers and employees at the participating Danish city archives.

 ### Annotations
 
-If the dataset contains annotations which are not part of the initial data collection, describe them in the following paragraphs.
-
-
 #### Annotation process
 
 When using the Transkribus clients to segment and transcribe the scanned pages, it is possible to add TEI-tags to single words or whole paragraphs.
 
--- Describe or reference annotation guidelines provided to the annotators. If available, provide interannotator statistics. Describe any annotation validation processes.
+These annotations have not been applied in any consistent manner, and should be ignored.
 
-#### Who are the annotators?
 
-If annotations were collected for the source data (such as class labels or syntactic parses), state whether the annotations were produced by humans or machine generated.
+#### Who are the annotators?
 
-Describe the people or systems who originally created the annotations and their selection criteria if applicable.
+The annotations are produced inside Transkribus by the volunteers and employees transcribing and proofreading the documents.
 
-Describe the conditions under which the data was annotated (for example, if the annotators were crowdworkers, state what platform was used, or if the data was found, what website the data was found on). If compensation was provided, include that information here.
 
 ### Personal and Sensitive Information
 
 No efforts were made to anonymize the data.
 
-The dataset contains data that might be considered sensitive (e.g., data that reveals racial or ethnic origins, sexual orientations, religious beliefs, political opinions or union memberships, or locations; financial or health data; biometric or genetic data; forms of government identification, such as social security numbers; criminal history).

-## Considerations for Using the Data
 
-### Social Impact of Dataset
-
-The purpose of this dataset is to help develop models that can recognize Danish handwriting.
-
-The statement should include both positive outlooks, such as outlining how technologies developed through its use may improve people's lives, and discuss the accompanying risks. These risks may range from making important decisions more opaque to people who are affected by the technology, to reinforcing existing harmful biases (whose specifics should be discussed in the next section), among other considerations.
-
-Also describe in this section if the proposed dataset contains a low-resource or under-represented language. If this is the case or if this task has any impact on underserved communities, please elaborate here.
-
-### Discussion of Biases
-
-Provide descriptions of specific biases that are likely to be reflected in the data, and state whether any steps were taken to reduce their impact.
-
-If analyses have been run quantifying these biases, please add brief summaries and links to the studies here.
