Dataset description

This corpus consists of public domain texts from the National Library's online collection. The corpus contains 26,344 books (and other written material) by 10,756 different authors (including, e.g., public institutions for publically available material). The material is downloadable as compressed tar-files containing the texts in two formats: html and simple text without any markup. The character encoding is UTF-8 for both formats. The quality of the texts varies depending on the quality of the OCR. In addition to texts in Norwegian (Bokmål and Nynorsk), the collection contains texts in several other languages.

Often yes, but usage rights depend on the source license and dataset. We surface source, license and update metadata where available, and can help review terms before a production integration.
Maintained APIs include update metadata where available. For production integrations, we can add history, monitoring and push updates so changes are easier to detect and act on.
Production APIs can add SLA, stable identifiers, versioning support, history, push updates and direct support around the data your product or AI workflow depends on.
