The English data is a collection of news wire articles from the Reuters Corpus. The annotation has been done by people of the University of Antwerp. Because of copyright reasons we only make available the annotations. In order to build the complete data sets you will need access to the Reuters Corpus. It can be obtained for research purposes without any charge from NIST.
