# Dataset Card for **EPDK Electricity Market Corpus (v2)**

## Dataset Summary
This corpus contains high-quality Turkish text extracted from **documents published by the Turkish Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EPDK – Enerji Piyasası Düzenleme Kurumu)**.  
The source materials include regulations, board decisions, and official communiqués related to the **electricity market legislation**.

Version 2.0.0 introduces a **complete re-extraction of the text using the Qwen-2.5-VL vision-language model**, which achieves dramatically better OCR accuracy than Tesseract—particularly on scanned and complex multi-column PDFs.  
The result is a significantly cleaner and more semantically faithful representation of the original legal texts.

## Version History

| Version | Description | Date | Notes |
|----------|--------------|------|-------|
| **v1.0.0** | Initial release using Tesseract OCR (≈ 3.4 K docs) | 2025-04 | Baseline version. Stored under `/v1.0.0/` branch. |
| **v2.0.0** | Re-extracted with Qwen-2.5-VL OCR (≈ 3.6 K docs), normalized fields (`id`, `text`, `kind`, `method`) | 2025-10 | Recommended for downstream use. |

To load a specific version:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("ogulcanakca/epdk_corpus", revision="v2.0.0")
```

---

## Intended Uses

Designed primarily for **language-model domain adaptation** and **continued pre-training** on Turkish regulatory language.
Potential downstream tasks include:

* Legal Question Answering over EPDK documents
* Summarization of laws and regulations
* Document classification or clustering (e.g., tebliğ / karar / yönetmelik)
* Information retrieval and RAG training for energy-sector LLMs

---

## Languages

All text is in **Turkish (`tr`)**.
