# ORKG Core Domain Classifier — Metadata

Update Date: 2026-09-20

Research-domain labels produced by the ORKG **Core Domain Classifier** for documents
in the [CORE](https://core.ac.uk/) corpus. One row per document: the document id and
the domain the classifier assigned to it.

The classifier that generates this dataset lives at
[https://gitlab.com/TIBHannover/orkg/nlp/experiments/core-domain-classifier](https://gitlab.com/TIBHannover/orkg/nlp/experiments/core-domain-classifier).

This dataset is rebuilt by `python -m app.run_hf_sync` from that repository — new
classifications are added, re-classified documents are overwritten in place, and each
run is tagged with a version. Do not edit the Parquet files by hand.
