Timestamped French corpus
The French Timestamped Corpus is a French corpus made up of news articles gained from their RSS feeds. The corpus consists of news articles gained from newsfeeds created by Jozef Stefan Institute, Slovenia (Trampus et al 2004). The JSI Timestamped French corpus is a clean, continuous, real-time aggregated stream of semantically enriched news articles from RSS-enabled sites across the world. The corpus was updated with new texts daily and grew by ca 100 million words each month until November 2022 when the original project of newsfeeds delivered by JSI was terminated.
