## Dataset Description
This dataset contains legal texts from the Turkish government's official legislation database, including various laws, regulations, and amendments.
The data has been extracted from [mevzuat.gov.tr](https://www.mevzuat.gov.tr/) and includes metadata such as law numbers, acceptance dates, publication dates in the official gazette, and detailed articles from the laws themselves.
## Data Fields
- `url`: The link to the specific law on the mevzuat.gov.tr website.
- `Kanun Adı`: The name of the law in Turkish.
- `kanun_numarasi`: The official number of the law.
- `kabul_tarihi`: The date when the law was accepted.
- `resmi_gazete`: Published in the official journal:
- `tarih`: The publication date in the official journal.

- `maddeler`: A list of articles from the law, each containing:

## GitHub Repository
The dataset and related code are available on GitHub: [Mevzuat-Gov-Scraper](https://github.com/muhammetakkurtt/mevzuat-gov-scraper).
## Limitations and Challenges
- The dataset is in Turkish.
- Some fields in the dataset, such as `dustur` (legal compendium), may be missing or incomplete.
- Some date data may not be in the same format. (19.01.1990 or 19/01/1990)
- Especially in older laws, there may be different letters or signs.
- Articles of law may contain additional data and can therefore be better parse.
