# Dataset Card for *Domains by Reliability (DomainRel)*
DomainRel is a large-scale dataset of web domains labelled binarily as per their overall reliability level.
The domains span areas of general knowledge, (mis)information, phishing and malware.
DomainRel is an aggregate and reconstruction of existing datasets originating from each of these specific areas, offering the first cross-domain dataset of this type and scale.
## Dataset Details
DomainRel can be downloaded in its simplest form (`labels.csv`), which contains 674,737 with a binary reliability score with the following class distribution:
```
Unreliable (0): 361,537
Reliable (1): 313,199
```
An alternative `labels_annot.csv` is also available; it contains the same domain data, with disaggregated per-source scores tracing the provenance of each datapoint as per its original data source.
- **Curated by** the CrediNet organisation, which consists of a team of collaborators from the Complex Data Lab @ Mila - Quebec AI Institute, the University of Oxford, McGill University, Concordia University, UC Berkeley, University of Montreal, and AITHYRA.
- **Funding:** This research was supported by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and the AI Security Institute (AISI) grant:
*Towards Trustworthy AI Agents for Information Veracity and the EPSRC Turing AI World-Leading Research Fellowship No. EP/X040062/1 and EPSRC AI
Hub No. EP/Y028872/1*. This research was also enabled in part by compute resources provided by Mila (mila.quebec) and Compute Canada.
### Dataset Sources
Refer to the below for a more detailed breakdown of the dataset's class distribution in terms of dataset of origin.
**Total:**
```bash
0: 361,537
1: 313,199
```
which consists of the following datasets:
### LegitPhish
[LegitPhish](https://data.mendeley.com/datasets/hx4m73v2sf/2) is a URL-based dataset with binary labels (0 = Phishing, 1 = Legitimate). The data is processed by converting URLs to their domain name, averaging the scores of all URLs that resolve to the same domain, and then binarizing based on a threshold of 0.5. We also standardise the header (we always use `domain` and `label` in the processed csvs.)
```bash
0: 26,957
1: 37,113
```
### PhishDataset
[PhishDataset](https://github.com/ESDAUNG/PhishDataset/blob/main/data_imbal%20-%2055000.xlsx) is a URL-based dataset with binary labels (0 = Legitimate, 1 = Phishing)
```bash
0: 3,730
1: 40,535
```
### Nelez
[Nelež](https://www.nelez.cz) is a blacklist of misinformation websites from a Czech organisation of the same name.
```bash
0: 51
1: 0
```
### Wikipedia
[Wikipedia](https://github.com/kynoptic/wikipedia-reliable-sources) is an aggregate set of a reliability ratings from multiple Wikipedia sources. The data is processed to keep only 'boosted' and 'discarded' domains (corresponding to 1 and 0 respectively -- they also have a neutral category we discard).
```bash
0: 1,029
1: 2,906
```
### URL-Phish
[URL-Phish](https://data.mendeley.com/datasets/65z9twcx3r/1) is a feature-engineered dataset for phishing detection. URLs have label 0 if they are considered benign, 1 for phishing.
```bash
0: 10,551
1: 92,460
```
### Phish & Legit
[Phish & Legit](https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/harisudhan411/phishing-and-legitimate-urls?resource=download) is a URL Classification dataset of suspicous (0) and genuine (1) web addresses.
```bash
0: 292,163
1: 146,316
```
### Misinformation domains
[Misinfo-domains](https://github.com/JanaLasser/misinformation_domains/tree/main) is a collection of domains labelled unreliable if they are assessed as spreaders of unreliable information.
```bash
0: 2,170
1: 2,597
```
### Malware domains
[URLHaus](https://urlhaus.abuse.ch) is a collection of malware domains.
```bash
0: 31,540
1: 0
```
