# ITU-T 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** · [O-RAN](https://huggingface.co/datasets/GSMA/oran) · [GSMA](https://huggingface.co/datasets/GSMA/gsma) · [TM Forum](https://huggingface.co/datasets/GSMA/tmforum) · [CAMARA](https://huggingface.co/datasets/GSMA/camara)

This dataset mirrors the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) Recommendations. Every source is kept twice: `original/` is the Recommendation as ITU-T released it (PDF), 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 ITU-T Recommendation series, the single-letter folders A through Z. `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
itu/
  original/         # Recommendations as published, by series
    G/  H/  Q/  Y/  ...
  marked/           # Markdown mirror of original/, same paths
    Y/.../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 Recommendations as ITU-T published them (PDF), grouped by series (the single-letter folders A through Z).
- `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/itu", 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 ITU and stay subject to its terms; see [www.itu.int](https://www.itu.int/). This dataset reproduces them in original and Markdown form for research, search, and retrieval. Cite the underlying Recommendation by its ITU-T number when you use it.
