ITU-T source mirror

Part of the Open-Telco Telecom Standards Corpus.
Sibling mirrors: 3GPP · ETSI · ITU-T · O-RAN · GSMA · TM Forum · CAMARA

This dataset mirrors the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) Recommendations. Every source is kept twice: original/ is the Recommendation as ITU-T released it (PDF), and marked/ is that same document converted to Markdown for search and retrieval, one raw.md per document with any figures extracted beside it. The two trees share identical paths, so a file in original/ has a parsed twin at the matching path under marked/; both are grouped by ITU-T Recommendation series, the single-letter folders A through Z. manifest.jsonl carries one row per file (path, SHA-256, parse status), and STATUS.md reports how much of the corpus has been parsed.

itu/
  original/         # Recommendations as published, by series
    G/  H/  Q/  Y/  ...
  marked/           # Markdown mirror of original/, same paths
    Y/.../raw.md    #   one per document, images beside it
  manifest.jsonl    # one row per file: path, sha256, parse status
  STATUS.md         # parse-coverage summary

How it is organized

• original/ holds the Recommendations as ITU-T published them (PDF), grouped by series (the single-letter folders A through Z).
• marked/ is the Markdown twin of original/ at identical paths, one raw.md per document with figures beside it.
• manifest.jsonl carries one row per file (path, SHA-256, parse status); STATUS.md reports parse coverage.

How to use

Pull only the Markdown twins (skip the heavy original/ tree) and read them straight:

from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download

path = snapshot_download("GSMA/itu", repo_type="dataset", allow_patterns="marked/**")
# every parsed document is a marked/**/raw.md

The corpus

This dataset is part of the Open-Telco Telecom Standards Corpus, an effort to make telecommunications open by mirroring every major standards body into clean, machine-readable Markdown. The full set: 3GPP, ETSI, ITU-T, O-RAN, GSMA, TM Forum, and CAMARA. Browse them all in the collection.
