# GSMA source mirror

> Part of the **[Open-Telco Telecom Standards Corpus](https://huggingface.co/collections/GSMA/telecom-standards-corpus-6a432dc598fc32729754fecf)**.  
> Sibling mirrors: [3GPP](https://huggingface.co/datasets/GSMA/3GPP) · [ETSI](https://huggingface.co/datasets/GSMA/etsi) · [ITU-T](https://huggingface.co/datasets/GSMA/itu) · [O-RAN](https://huggingface.co/datasets/GSMA/oran) · **GSMA** · [TM Forum](https://huggingface.co/datasets/GSMA/tmforum) · [CAMARA](https://huggingface.co/datasets/GSMA/camara)

This dataset mirrors the GSMA's published specifications, industry guidelines, and permanent reference documents. Every source is kept twice: `original/` is the file as GSMA released it (PDF and Word), and `marked/` is that same document converted to Markdown for search and retrieval, one `raw.md` per document with any figures extracted beside it. The two trees share identical paths, so a file in `original/` has a parsed twin at the matching path under `marked/`; both are grouped by GSMA working group and programme (eSIM, Networks, RCS, Fraud and Security, and the IG/IR document series). `manifest.jsonl` carries one row per file (path, SHA-256, parse status), and `STATUS.md` reports how much of the corpus has been parsed.

```text
gsma/
  original/         # source files as published, by working group
    NG/  RCS/  eSim/  IG/  FASG/  ...
  marked/           # Markdown mirror of original/, same paths
    NG/.../raw.md   #   one per document, images beside it
  manifest.jsonl    # one row per file: path, sha256, parse status
  STATUS.md         # parse-coverage summary
```

## How it is organized

- `original/` holds the source files as GSMA published them (PDF and Word), grouped by working group and programme (eSIM, Networks, RCS, Fraud and Security, and the IG/IR document series).
- `marked/` is the Markdown twin of `original/` at identical paths, one `raw.md` per document with figures beside it.
- `manifest.jsonl` carries one row per file (path, SHA-256, parse status); `STATUS.md` reports parse coverage.

## How to use

Pull only the Markdown twins (skip the heavy `original/` tree) and read them straight:

```python
from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download

path = snapshot_download("GSMA/gsma", repo_type="dataset", allow_patterns="marked/**")
# every parsed document is a marked/**/raw.md
```

## The corpus

This dataset is part of the **Open-Telco Telecom Standards Corpus**, an effort to make telecommunications open by mirroring every major standards body into clean, machine-readable Markdown. The full set: 3GPP, ETSI, ITU-T, O-RAN, GSMA, TM Forum, and CAMARA. Browse them all in the [collection](https://huggingface.co/collections/GSMA/telecom-standards-corpus-6a432dc598fc32729754fecf).

## License and attribution

The mirrored documents remain the property of the GSMA and stay subject to its terms; see [www.gsma.com](https://www.gsma.com/). This dataset reproduces them in original and Markdown form for research, search, and retrieval. Cite the underlying document by its GSMA reference (for example IR or IG number) when you use it.
