The dataset contains parquet files with the following key fields:

  • factsense_id: Unique identifier for the FactSense instance
  • belongs_to_statement_id: ID of the associated FactStatement
  • language: Language code (e.g., 'en', 'zh')
  • page_id: Wikipedia page ID
  • page_title: Title of the Wikipedia page
  • page_namespace: Wikipedia namespace
  • match_type: Type of match (sitelink, sitelink_pagelink, label_based, etc.)
  • sentence: Text snippet containing the fact mention (limited to 1000 chars)
  • sentence_index: Position of the sentence in the paragraph/page
  • confidence: Match confidence score (0.5-0.9)
  • subject_qid: Subject entity QID
  • property_pid: Property PID
  • value_qid: Value entity QID (if applicable)
  • subject_label: Label used for matching
  • value_label: Value label used for matching
  • extraction_method: Extraction strategy version
