+ # Dataset Card: Dataset for a Swiss Sustainable Procurement Analysis & Reporting Kit
14
+
15
+ ## Dataset Description
16
+
17
+ This dataset is designed to train and evaluate models for detecting sustainability criteria in Swiss public procurement documents (Call for Tenders, CFT). The dataset classifies text segments based on whether they contain specific sustainability requirements according to official Swiss guidelines.
18
+
19
+ ### Dataset Summary
20
+
21
+ - **Language:** German (de)
22
+ - **Task:** Binary text classification (positive/negative) + multi-label classification (sector-specific guidelines, criterion types)
23
+ - **Domain:** Public procurement, sustainability criteria
24
+ - **Size:** Multiple splits with stratified sampling across 4 independent iterations
25
+
26
+ ### Supported Tasks
27
+
28
+ - **Sustainability Criteria Detection:** Identify whether text segments contain sustainability requirements
29
+ - **Sector-Specific Classification:** Classify texts according to sector-specific guidelines (catalogs)
30
+ - **Criterion Type Classification:** Determine the legal context of criteria (e.g., award criteria, selection criteria, technical specifications)
31
+
32
+ ## Dataset Structure
33
+
34

41
+ - `scope_of_action_id` (string): Specific criterion ID within the catalog
42
+ - `criterion_type` (string): Legal context type (e.g., "cc-award_criterion", "cc-selection_criteria", "cc-terms_and_conditions")
43
+ - `text` (string): The original text segment
44
+ - `source` (string): Data source ("annotations" or "feedback")
45
+ - `pos_neg` (string): Label indicating "positive" (contains sustainability criterion) or "negative" (general procurement text)
46
+ - `score` (float/string): Similarity score for negative examples (or "undefined" for positive examples)
47
+ - `status` (string): Validation status
48
+ - `most_similar_references_sentences` (list/string): Most similar reference sentences for negative sampling
49
+ - `context_window_1` (string): First context window (1 surrounding sentence)
50
+ - `context_window_2` (string): Second context window (2 surrounding sentences)
51
+ - `cc-ac_weight` (string): Weight information for award criteria
52
+ - `text_cleaned` (string): Normalized and cleaned text
53
+ - `split_1`, `split_2`, `split_3`, `split_4` (string): Four independent stratified splits ("train", "eval", "test")
54
+
55
+ ### Data Splits
56
+
57
+ The dataset provides **4 independent stratified random splits**, each with:
58
+ - **50% Training**
59
+ - **25% Evaluation**
60
+ - **25% Test**
61
+
62
+ Stratification ensures consistent distribution across:
63
+ - `scope_of_action_id` (criterion ID)
64
+ - `criterion_type` (criterion type)
65
+ - `pos_neg` (positive/negative label)
66
+ - `weights` (award criteria weights)
67
+
68
+ ### Sector-Specific Guidelines (Catalogs)
69
+
70
+ The dataset includes sustainability criteria from multiple sectors:
71
+ - Road Transport
72
+ - Food
73
+ - ICT
74
+ - Furniture
75
+ - Construction (Buildings/Civil Engineering)
76
+ - Electricity
77
+ - Print Services
78
+ - Product Independent Criteria
79
+ - And others
80
+
81
+ ## Dataset Creation
82
+
83
+ ### Source Data
84
+
85
+ The dataset combines two primary sources:
86
+
87
+ 1. **Expert Annotations (INCEpTION Platform):** CFT documents manually labeled by experts on the UIMA INCEpTION platform with precise mapping to catalog IDs and criterion types
88
+
89
+ 2. **Feedback Data:** 220 examples validated by experts from an automated NLP pipeline, including weight information for award criteria and correctness evaluations
90
+
91
+ ### Data Processing Pipeline
92
+
93
+ The generation pipeline includes:
94
+
95
+ 1. **Positive Example Extraction:** Direct extraction from expert-annotated documents
96
+ 2. **Negative Sampling:**
97
+ - **Hard Negatives:** Sentences with high semantic similarity (cosine similarity) but no sustainability criteria
98
+ - **Random Negatives:** Random sentences for standard administrative language
99
+ 3. **Contextual Windowing:** Creates context windows (1 or 2 surrounding sentences) with label leakage prevention
100
+ 4. **Text Cleaning:** Normalization of line breaks, removal of excess whitespace
101
+ 5. **Deduplication:** Based on project_id, filename, and cleaned text
102
+
103
+ ### Annotations
104
+
105
+ Annotations were created by domain experts familiar with:
106
+ - Swiss public procurement law
107
+ - Sustainability guidelines for public procurement
108
+ - Sector-specific requirements
109
+
110
+ Annotation categories include:
111
+ - Award criteria (Zuschlagskriterien)
112
+ - Selection criteria (Eignungskriterien)
113
+ - Technical specifications (Technische Spezifikationen)
114
+ - Terms and conditions (Vertragsbedingungen)
115
+ - Evidence requirements (Nachweise)
116
+
117
+ ## Technical Specifications
118
+
119
+ - **NLP Engine:** spaCy (model: de_dep_news_trf) for German sentence segmentation
120
+ - **Embeddings:** SentenceTransformers (all-MiniLM-L6-v2) for semantic search and hard negative mining
121
+ - **Environment:** Python 3.10 via condavenv
122
+
123
+ ## Considerations
124
+
125
+ ### Social Impact
126
+
127
+ This dataset supports:
128
+ - **Transparency:** Automated detection of sustainability criteria in public procurement
129
+ - **Efficiency:** Reduces manual review time for procurement officers
130
+ - **Sustainability:** Promotes adherence to sustainability guidelines in Swiss public procurement
131
+
132
+ ### Limitations
133
+
134
+ - **Language:** Dataset is German-only, specific to Swiss German administrative language
135
+ - **Domain Specificity:** Trained on Swiss public procurement documents; may not generalize to other jurisdictions
136
+ - **Context Dependency:** Some criteria require understanding of broader document context
137
+ - **Class Imbalance:** Distribution between positive and negative examples should be monitored during training
