These dataset represent the efforts of Language Computer Corp. under the IARPA Metaphor Project from 2012-2014. They are being released in two bundles -- a small version:
- en_small.xml (ENGLISH) with 16265 source/target pairs, 17336 metaphoricity annotations, 7941 conceptual mapping annotations, and 3932 affect annotations
- es_small.xml (SPANISH) with 14524 source/target pairs, 15743 metaphoricity annotations, 7365 conceptual mapping annotations, and 3569 affect annotations
and a large version:
- en_large.xml (ENGLISH) with 167479 source/target pairs, 86860 metaphoricity annotations, 51324 conceptual mapping annotations, and 25277 affect annotations
- es_large.xml (SPANISH) with 115799 source/target pairs, 70071 metaphoricity annotations, 46063 conceptual mapping annotations, and 21889 affect annotations
- ru_large.xml (RUSSIAN) with 64019 source/target pairs, 48497 metaphoricity annotations, 24465 conceptual mapping annotations, and 13389 affect annotations fa_large.xml (FARSI) with 80167 source/target pairs, 63750 metaphoricity annotations, 39529 conceptual mapping annotations, and 16953 affect annotations

There are two associated xsd files -- large.xsd and small.xsd.
Attributes for the XML elements are defined as follows:
- annotatorID=
<NUMBER>, uniquely identifying one of our annotators - chain=
<SEQUENCE>, indicating the relationhsip from the source to the target via prep-condensed MALT PARSER relations (with * indicating the common subsumer of source/target) - creationTime=
<NUMBER>, timestamp (ms) of annotation instance - docid=
<NUMBER>, uniquely identifying one of our documents - id=
<NUMBER>, uniquely identifying an annotation (of a particular type). Note that a MetaphoricityAnnotation and a PolarityAnnotation might have the same id. - intensity=
<NUMBER>(0, 1, 2, 3) - polarity=
<VALUE>(NEGATIVE, NEUTRAL, POSITIVE) - protagonist=
<VALUE>(GENERAL, GOVERNMENT_OVERSIGHT, INDIVIDUAL_OVERSIGHT) - score=
<NUMBER>(-1, 0, 1, 2, 3), where -1 indicates invalid syntactic relation between a source/target (only used for MetaphoricityAnnotations) - sourceConcept=
