About the WPT 05 collection

WPT 05 is a collection of over 10 million documents from the portuguese web obtained by the crawler of the Tumba! search engine, produced by the XLDB Node of Linguateca.

The contents were crawled in 2005 and have been harvested according to the following criteria:

  • hosted in a .pt domain
  • written in portuguese, hosted in a .com, .org, .net or .tv domain, and referenced by a hyperlink from, at least, one page hosted in a .pt domain.

The WPT 05 collection and related data are available in multiple versions and formats:

WPT 05 metadata
contains the attributes of each of the collected contents (includes automatically extracted text and identified language)in the RDF/XML format.
WPT 05 contents
contains the harvested contents in raw form, as they have been archived, in the Internet Archive ARC format
WPT 05 portuguese n-grams
includes the n-grams generated from the extracted text of collected documents in portuguese

WPT 05 is the successor to WPT 03, which is a crawl from 2003 distributed since 2004 byLinguateca.

WPT05 metadata

The RDF/XML version of the WPT 05 collection uses the RDF technology and the OAI-ORE specification for representing duplicates and the web pages hierarchy. It includes the crawling metadata and the text extracted from each URL.

Characteristics of the WPT 05 metadata collection:

  • No duplicated text. The text of documents marked as duplicates is not included; for duplicated contents, we only provide the additional URL where we found the same contents.
  • Domain preservation. The hierarchy of pages within each domain is provided in the metadata.
  • Text-rich documents. Only the documents of the following MIME types are included: application/pdf, application/postscript, application/vnd.ms-office, text/html, text/plain, text/rtf.
  • UTF-8 encoded. All the extracted text is encoded in the UTF-8 format.
  • RDF/XML. Each file of the distributed collection is an XML valid file, enabling its handling by the tools commonly available for RDF and XML processing.
  • Language. We used ngramj to detect the language of each extracted text and provide the result in the <dc:language> tag.

WPT 05 contents

The WPT 05 contents collection contains the raw documents as they were crawled, without any sort of post-processing, such as filtering by type, elimination of duplicates, or encoding normalization.

To achieve this goal, we adopted the ARC format from the Internet Archive, designed for the specific purpose of preserving web pages as they were crawled.

For more information on the syntax and details of the ARC format, please check the ARC format specification.


WPT 05 portuguese N-Grams

Contains the n-grams generated from the texts extracted from the WPT05 harvested contents classified as portuguese (7 million documents or 26 Gigabytes of text).

We generated up to 5-grams using the N-gram Statistics Package.

The following regular expressions were applied to tokenize the text:

   \w+                                                     # "word" character
 [\.,;:\?!]                                              # punctation
 \w+\'\w+                                                # "word" connected by '
 \bn\.o                                                  # number
 [\w_.-]+ \@ [\w_.-]+\w                                  # emails
 \w+\.?[ºª°]\.?                                          # ordinals
 \d+(?:\/\d+)+                                           # dates or similar: 12/21/1
 \d+(?:[.,]\d+)+%?                                       # numbers
 \d+(?:\.[oa])+                                          # ordinals numbers: 12.o
 \d+\:\d+(\:\d+)?                                        # the time: 12:12:2
 ((https?|ftp|gopher)://|www)[\w_./~:-]+\w               # urls
 \w+\.(?:com|org|net|pt)                                 # simplified urls
 \w+(-\w+)+                                              # dá-lo-à

 \w+\.(?:exe|html?|zip|jpg|gif|wav|mp3|png|t?gz|pl|xml)  # filenames
 


These regular expressions are part of the Perl extension for NLP of the portuguese which include a tokenizer for portuguese developed by Linguateca.
