+# RegConflict
+
+**A cross-jurisdictional benchmark for regulatory conflict detection.**
+
+RegConflict is an expert-annotated benchmark for detecting conflicts between
+regulatory regimes from different jurisdictions in financial regulation. It
+pairs a four-class typology of conflict kinds with labelled regime pairs, each
+grounded in verbatim evidence passages drawn from a curated multi-jurisdictional
+regulatory corpus.
+
+- **Source code, corpus, and reproducible baselines:** https://github.com/rafsunsheikh/RegConflict
+- **Archived release (DOI):** [10.5281/zenodo.21007776](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21007776)
+
+This HuggingFace repository is the **dataset mirror** — the labelled regime
+pairs with their embedded evidence passages. The full document corpus and
+baselines live in the GitHub repository and the Zenodo deposit.
+
+## The task
+
+Given two regulatory regimes (each represented by evidence passages drawn from
+official source documents), predict whether they **conflict** or **do not
+conflict**, and — for conflicts — which kind of conflict applies under a
+four-class typology distinguished by the resolution mechanism (or its absence)
+available to an entity facing both regimes:
+
+- `structural_unresolved` — no compliant path exists under the rules as written.
+- `operationally_resolvable` — a compliant path exists but requires deliberate operational structuring.
+- `interpretive_fact_sensitive` — whether a conflict exists turns on facts or interpretation.
+- `recurring_friction` — an ongoing economic/operational friction with no clean one-time fix.
+
+## Splits
+
+| Split | Records | Conflict | Non-conflict |
+|-------|--------:|---------:|-------------:|
+| `train` | 497 | 65 | 432 |
+| `validation` | 107 | 14 | 93 |
+| `test` | 107 | 14 | 93 |
+| `gold_iaa` | 30 | 25 | 5 |
+
+`gold_iaa` is a separately-held gold inter-annotator-agreement subset of conflict
+cases, blind-reviewed to measure agreement on the four-class typology task
+(Cohen's κ = 0.6 — substantial agreement per Landis–Koch). It carries an
+additional `blind_review` field.
+
+## Usage
+
+```python
+from datasets import load_dataset
+
+# Main benchmark: train / validation / test
+ds = load_dataset("rafsunsheikh/RegConflict")
+print(ds)
+print(ds["test"][0]["label"])
+
+# Gold inter-annotator-agreement subset (separate config, richer schema)
+gold = load_dataset("rafsunsheikh/RegConflict", "gold_iaa")
+print(gold["gold_iaa"][0]["blind_review"])
+```
+
+> The `gold_iaa` subset is exposed as a **separate config** rather than a fourth
+> split of `default`, because it carries an extra `blind_review` field whose
+> schema differs from the main splits.
+
+## Record schema
+
+Each record is one regime pair. Key fields (some are present only for one label):
+
+| Field | Type | Notes |
+|-------|------|-------|
+| `pair_id` | string | Stable identifier, prefixed `conflict:` / `non_conflict:`. |
+| `label` | string | `conflict` or `non_conflict`. |
+| `record_type` | string | Same as `label`. |
+| `regime_a`, `regime_b` | struct | `regime_id`, `jurisdiction`, `issuing_body`, `short_name`. |
+| `evidence_a`, `evidence_b` | list&lt;struct&gt; | Evidence passages: `chunk_id`, `source_doc`, `page`, `passage`. |
+| `conflict_type` | string\|null | One of the four classes (conflict records only). |
+| `severity` | string\|null | `low` / `medium` / `high` (conflict records only). |
+| `rationale` | string | Free-text justification of the label. |
+| `compliant_paths` | list&lt;string&gt; | Resolution options (conflict records). |
+| `out_of_scope_assumptions` | list&lt;string&gt; | Scoping assumptions (conflict records). |
+| `non_conflict_subtype` | string\|null | e.g. `different_domains`, `aligned_complementary` (non-conflict records). |
+| `would_conflict_if` | list&lt;string&gt; | Counterfactual conditions (non-conflict records). |
+| `confidence` | float | Annotator confidence. |
+| `annotator_id`, `annotated_at`, `revision`, `review_status` | — | Provenance. |
+| `blind_review` | struct | Blind second-pass review (`gold_iaa` split only). |
+
+## Jurisdictions and sources
+
+Pairs are drawn from six jurisdictional sources — Australia, the European Union,
+Singapore, FATF, BIS, and IOSCO — spanning bodies such as APRA, OAIC, AUSTRAC,
+ASIC, the Australian Treasury, EUR-Lex (GDPR, MiCA, AMLA, AMLR/TFR, DORA, …),
+ESMA/EBA, the Singapore SSO and MAS, the Basel Committee, and IOSCO.

+## Licensing
+
+- **Labels, annotations, and this dataset structure:** MIT (see the GitHub repository's `LICENSE`).
+- **Embedded evidence passages** are short verbatim quotations from official
+  regulatory documents, included under academic-quotation terms. The full source
+  corpus uses a **three-tier** license scheme (Tier 1 redistributable, Tier 2
+  academic-use, Tier 3 metadata-only); see
+  [`LICENSES/SOURCE_DOCUMENT_LICENSES.md`](https://github.com/rafsunsheikh/RegConflict/blob/main/LICENSES/SOURCE_DOCUMENT_LICENSES.md)
+  in the GitHub repository for verbatim per-source clauses.
