## Uses
### Direct Use
Suitable for text analysis and NLP tasks focused on news content, particularly when working with BBC News articles. The dataset provides cleaned article text without metadata like bylines or publication dates.
### Out-of-Scope Use
This dataset should not be used as a comprehensive archive of BBC News content, as it represents only articles captured in FineWeb's crawls. It should not be assumed to contain all articles from any given time period.
## Dataset Structure
### Data Instances
Example format:
```python
{
'url': 'news.bbc.co.uk/news/article-path',
'text': 'Article content...'
}
```
### Data Fields
- `url`: URL of the article with query parameters removed
- `text`: Full article text content
### Data Statistics
- Contains approximately 300k articles per subset
## Dataset Creation
### Curation Rationale
Created to provide an easily accessible dataset of BBC news articles while offering a focused view into the FineWeb dataset's coverage of major news sources. Enables analysis of FineWeb's completeness and motivates investigation of alternative data acquisition methods.
### Source Data
#### Data Collection and Processing
- Filtered from FineWeb's subsets
- Limited to domains: news.bbc.co.uk, www.bbc.co.uk/news, www.bbc.com/news
- URL cleaning: removed query parameters
- Regional news content may be excluded (under regional subsite paths rather than `/news`)
- No modifications to article text content
#### Personal and Sensitive Information
Article texts contain only the main content body, without bylines or metadata.
## Bias, Risks, and Limitations
- No validation split in current version
- Original publication dates not available (FineWeb timestamps were crawl dates)
- Section/index pages not yet filtered out from article pages
- Regional news content explicitly excluded due to sparse coverage
- Relationship between news.bbc.co.uk and bbc.co.uk/news domains needs investigation
- Coverage may be incomplete compared to full BBC News archive
### Recommendations
Users should be aware that this represents a subset of BBC News content. For applications requiring comprehensive coverage or accurate publication dates, additional data sources should be considered.
## Future Directions
- Addition of publication dates through targeted crawling
- Filtering to distinguish between section pages and article pages
