Introduction
============

The Czech RST Discourse Treebank 1.0 (CzRST-DT 1.0, Poláková et al., 2023)
is a dataset of 54 Czech journalistic texts manually annotated using
the Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST; Mann and Thompson, 1988).
Each text document in the treebank is represented as a single tree-like
structure, the nodes (discourse units) are interconnected through
hierarchical rhetorical relations.

The dataset also contains concurrent annotations of five double-annotated
documents.

The original texts are a part of the data annotated in the Prague Dependency
Treebank (Hajič et al., 2020), although the two projects are independent.

Please visit https://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/czrst-dt1.0 for detailed and
updated information about the corpus.


Data Format
===========

The data can be found in directory data in the
following subdirectories:

TXT - original texts
RS3 - RST annotations of the texts in RS3 format
IAA - double annotated documents in two versions:
      - pre-curated (note: the curated version is in directory RS3)
      - pre-curated and modified to one tree (for IAA measurement)
