DART: Italian Drug Leaflets for Clinical NLP

DART provides structured Italian drug product leaflets for developing clinical NLP models. The dataset is curated by praiselab-picuslab and was last updated on May 25, 2026. Regulatory texts are segmented into standard sections and enriched with metadata and pharmacological information.

Use Cases

• Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) extraction based on annotated regulatory text sections.
• Information extraction for pharmacological entities mentioned in the processed leaflets.
• Model evaluation for clinical NLP tasks using a structured corpus of Italian medical documents.

Strengths

• Texts are segmented into standard sections, suggesting a consistent structure.
• The dataset is enriched with metadata and pharmacological information beyond raw text.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
