Dataset InformationThe ClueWeb09 dataset was created by the Language Technologies Institute at Carnegie Mellon University to support research on information retrieval and related human language technologies. The dataset consists of 1 billion web pages, in ten languages, collected in January and February 2009. This page describes the dataset organization and format.Table of contentsDataset OrganizationThe dataset is organized into segments. Each segment contains approximately 50 million records (web pages). Each segment is stored in a directory named:
where <language> is the language of pages for segment (e.g. English) and <segment #> is the segment number. Each segment contains a set of directories named:
where <language> is a 2-letter standard language identifier (see Language Identifiers below), and <directory #> is the sequence number for that language. Each directory contains up to 100 files named:
where <file #> is the sequence number of the file within its directory from "00.warc.gz" up to "99.warc.gz". Each file contains approximately 40,000 web pages in WARC file format, as described below. An uncompressed file requires about 1 GB of storage. For example, the first English pages downloaded by the crawler are stored in:
There is one exception to this format. At the end of the first English segment (ClueWeb09_English_1), there are four directories that contain a complete copy of the English Wikipedia. These directories are named:
where <wikipedia directory #> is 00, 01, 02, or 03. Dataset FormatWeb pages are stored in gzipped files that are in WARC format. The WARC formatting used conforms to the WARC ISO 28500 final draft (as of June 18th, 2008), version 018.Specifications for the format can be found at:
One custom field is added to the WARC response header information named "WARC-TREC-ID". This is a globally unique identifier for the dataset that describes the location of the individual record within the entire ClueWeb09 Dataset. The WARC-TREC-ID value is in the format of:
The <directory> corresponds to the individual directory as specified in the Dataset Organization section above. It is in the format of <language><directory #> where language is the 2 letter standard language code and the directory number is a 4-digit (padded) directory number in sequence. The <file> is a 2-digit (padded) number that corresponds to the file number within the <directory>. The <record> is a 5-digit (padded) number that corresponds to this record's sequence within the individual file. Checksum FilesThe files with the name "ClueWeb_*.md5" are the md5 sums of the individual WARC files in the dataset. These MD5 sums are in the format:
with multiple lines in the file - one line for each file in the dataset. For example, the following line:
denotes the md5 checksum for the file 22.warc.gz under the en0000 directory. The checksum files (by segment) are on the individual directories on the disks, or can be download here: * ClueWeb09_English_1 checksums * ClueWeb09_English_2 checksums * ClueWeb09_English_3 checksums * ClueWeb09_English_4 checksums * ClueWeb09_English_5 checksums * ClueWeb09_English_6 checksums * ClueWeb09_English_7 checksums * ClueWeb09_English_8 checksums * ClueWeb09_English_9 checksums * ClueWeb09_English_10 checksums * ClueWeb09_Chinese_1 checksums * ClueWeb09_Chinese_2 checksums * ClueWeb09_Chinese_3 checksums * ClueWeb09_Chinese_4 checksums * ClueWeb09_Spanish_1 checksums * ClueWeb09_Spanish_2 checksums * ClueWeb09_Japanese_1 checksums * ClueWeb09_Japanese_2 checksums * ClueWeb09_French_1 checksums * ClueWeb09_German_1 checksums * ClueWeb09_Italian_1 checksums * ClueWeb09_Korean_1 checksums * ClueWeb09_Portuguese_1 checksums * ClueWeb09_Arabic_1 checksums Record CountsThe files with the name "ClueWeb09_*_counts.txt" are the record counts by file for the individual WARC files for the dataset. The record count files are in the format of:
With multiple lines in the file - one line for each file in the dataset. For example, the following line:
denotes that the file 15.warc.gz under the en0042 directory has 34,618 individual page records in it. The record counts (by language) are as follows:
The record counts (by segment on disk) are as follows (note that the individual count files are on the disks, but can also be downloaded here):
Language IdentifiersAll 2-letter language identifers for the dataset conform to the ISO 639 language ID list. The languages used in the ClueWeb09 dataset are:
Language EncodingsEnglish content is encoded in UTF-8 format (where proper UTF-8 character encodings apply). The content for all other languages is encoded in the encoding given by the web server that supplied the web page. When available, the content encoding appears in the individual HTTP header information for the record in the key/value pair "Content-Type".TREC 2009 Category A and BFor TREC 2009, the entire dataset is referred to as the TREC 2009 "Category A" data set. The TREC 2009 "Category B" data set consists of the first English segment of Category A, which is roughly the first 50 million pages of the entire data set. This corresponds to the first directory of English documents in the dataset, "ClueWeb09_English_1".Sample FilesSample files for the ClueWeb09 dataset can be found on the Sample Files page of this wiki.
