German Patents (1877–1918)
收藏资源简介:
该数据集由曼海姆大学的研究团队构建,涵盖1877至1918年间的德国专利条目,总计306,070条,数据源为9,562张档案图像扫描。数据集采用双栏格式,每页包含20至50条专利条目,字体包括哥特体和罗马体。通过多模态大语言模型(如Gemini-2.5-Pro和Gemini-2.5-Flash-Lite)自动提取专利ID、受让人、地点、标题和日期等关键变量,显著提升了数据构建效率和质量。该数据集旨在为经济史研究提供微观经济数据支持,帮助分析技术创新及其经济影响。
This dataset was constructed by a research team at the University of Mannheim, covering 306,070 German patent entries from 1877 to 1918, with source data derived from 9,562 scanned archival images. The dataset adopts a two-column layout, with each page containing 20 to 50 patent entries and fonts including Gothic and Roman typefaces. Key variables such as patent ID, assignee, location, title and date were automatically extracted via multimodal large language models (e.g., Gemini-2.5-Pro and Gemini-2.5-Flash-Lite), which significantly improved the efficiency and quality of dataset construction. This dataset aims to provide microeconomic data support for economic history research, enabling analysis of technological innovation and its economic impacts.
