| ## 🛠️ Dataset Structure |
|
|
| Every book subset inside this repository uses a standardized, clean schema: |
|
|
| | Field Name | Type | Description | |
| | :--- | :--- | :--- | |
| | `file_name` | `string` | Relative path to the image on disk (present in certain sub-configurations). | |
| | `image` | `Image` | Scanned page image (JPEG format, 150 DPI) | |
| | `page_header` | `string` | Spatially aligned running headers containing page numbers and titles (or `null` if the book lacks running headers or has had headers cropped out to avoid layout mismatches). | |
| | `body` | `string` | Clean Arabic main body text (fully stripped of HTML tags, normalized to Unix newlines, stripped of tashkeel/diacritics where appropriate to match printed page layouts, and free of database anchors). | |
| | `footnotes` | `string` | Clean footnotes and/or bottom-centered Arabic page numbers matching the printed layout (`null` if none exist). | |
|
