Subject:  Reuters Corpus


Reuters, the global information, news and technology group, is for
the
first time making available free of charge, large quantities of
archived Reuters news stories for use by research communities around
the world. The first Reuters Corpus archive includes over 800,000
English language news stories, equivalent to the annual global news
output of Reuters. All the news stories are fully referenced using a
total of 775 different category codes for topic, geography and
industry sector.

Although this Corpus has been available for some time, it has not
yet
been widely publicised. We are now happy to distribute it more
widely
within the research community. Further details can be found at:

http://about.reuters.com/researchandstandards/corpus/

For discussion and queries regarding this corpus and future Reuters
releases, please refer to the ReutersCorpora mailing list, which can
be found at:

Best wishes,
Tony
