## Overview

VNLegalText is a downloadable annotated dataset, not an application or runtime library. Its principal use is to study legal-document references and the relations between those references and the document containing them. The README documents the corpus contents, annotation concepts, and collection provenance; no source excerpts are available to establish processing or access workflows.

Main entry points: [`data/xml_data.zip`](https://github.com/mlalab/vnlegaltext/blob/main/data/xml_data.zip) (Legal document corpus)
