AbstRCT argument-component spans

Major claim, claim and premise argument-component spans in MEDLINE randomized-controlled-trial (RCT) abstracts (Mayer, Cabrio and Villata, ECAI 2020), expert-annotated with the brat tool (two annotators, adjudicated). Every context is the full abstract, not an isolated sentence: whether a sentence is a claim or a premise is judged against the rest of the abstract, which a per-sentence view would strip away.

Data-only mirror of the original brat distribution (revision f856f1ca7514caa4094194b5623e84c159d9bf1d, archive SHA256 32150598d2e9). Reproduce with scripts/repackage_dataset/abstrct_spans.py; provenance.json records the archive hash, revision, native abstract counts and settings. License: CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 (evidence).

Schema: context (the abstract), question, answers (text, answer_start: every span, not alternatives) and JSON-string metadata (field is one of major_claim, claim, premise; group is {config}:{PMID}). Every field is always asked; an abstract with none of a kind answers with null. Used by the extraction config of tasksource-jev-typed-decisions (neoplasm config, as abstrct/neoplasm).

neoplasm has the native train/dev/test split used for training. glaucoma and mixed are test-only cross-domain transfer sets (no training abstracts) and are evaluation-only.
