"Verse-Wikisource" is a collection of 200,000 verses extracted from 9,000 works digitized by the Wikisource project.

Verses have been selected through the following process:

  • All works categorized as poem (or as sub-categories of poem), using petscan.
  • Only the texts parts labelled as "poem" with Wikisource internal markup system.
  • Only the verses shorted than 21 words to remove remaining artifacts.

The dataset includes the following features:

  • The individual verse.
  • Its size.
  • Its position in the original poem (which makes it possible to reconstruct the poem sequentially, if relevant)
  • The page name in Wikisource.
  • The link to the original document in Wikisource.
