# Dataset Card for ECHR Case-Linked Guide Diffs

## Dataset Summary

This dataset links case-level citation changes in ECHR guides to localized guide-body transitions, including section references and before/after paragraph text.

It is intended as a modeling-ready derived layer for tasks such as:

- guide-update retrieval
- section localization
- edit-type prediction
- constrained paragraph rewriting

## Dataset Structure

Main files:

- `case_linked_guide_diffs.csv`: case-level linked transitions
- `case_linked_guide_diffs.json`: JSON export of the same
- `case_linked_guide_diff_paragraphs.csv`: paragraph-level linked transitions
- `case_linked_guide_diff_paragraphs.json`: JSON export of the same
- `case_linked_guide_diffs_report.json`: coverage and linkage summary

## Dataset Statistics

- case-level rows: `1004`
- paragraph-level rows: `1537`
- linked case rows: `843`
- unlinked rows with existing transition pairs: `161`
- missing transition pairs: `0`

## Intended Use

This dataset is intended for:

- retrieving the guide section affected by a case
- predicting where a case should be inserted into a guide
- classifying whether an edit is an addition, removal, or revision
- constructing small-scale guide-update generation prototypes

## Provenance

Derived from:

- `lexgenie/echr-guide-citation-diffs`
- `lexgenie/echr-guide-case-catalog`
- guide-body transition parsing and paragraph alignment

This dataset should be treated as a derived body-context layer over the original citation-diff corpus.
