📑 Indonesian Regulation Markdown RAG Dataset (ID_REG_MD_RAG)

This repository contains a highly structured, Markdown-optimized collection of Indonesian Regulations (Peraturan Perundang-undangan). This dataset is specifically engineered to solve the "structure loss" problem often encountered when building Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems for complex legal documents. 🏛️

💡 The Concept: Structural Integrity for RAG

Legal documents in Indonesia follow a strict hierarchy: Undang-Undang → Peraturan Pemerintah → Peraturan Menteri, subdivided into Bab (Chapters), Bagian (Parts), Paragraf (Paragraphs), and Pasal (Articles).

Standard text-stripping methods lose this hierarchy, causing RAG systems to retrieve "Pasal 1" without knowing which Chapter or Regulation it belongs to. This dataset solves that by:

• 🏗️ Markdown Conversion: All regulations are converted into clean Markdown, using headers (#, ##, ###) to preserve the legal hierarchy.
• 🔗 Contextual Anchoring: Each chunk maintains its structural relationship to the parent heading, allowing LLMs to "see" the full path of a regulation.
• ✂️ RAG-Ready Chunking: Optimized for semantic splitters that respect Markdown boundaries, ensuring that an Article is never cut in half during retrieval.

🛠️ Data Acquisition & Pipeline

This dataset was compiled using a systematic developer workflow:

• Source: Official Indonesian regulatory repositories and government gazettes. 🌐
• Transformation: Raw documents (PDF) were processed through a custom pipeline to extract structural elements and reformat them into consistent Markdown syntax. 🔄
• Methodology: Built using legitimate developer-sanctioned methods, ensuring clean data lineage and high-fidelity text extraction without the noise of typical web scraping. ✅

🧪 Use Cases

• Advanced RAG Pipelines: Powering legal assistants that can accurately identify the specific Bab or Bagian a statute belongs to. 🔍
• Semantic Search: Building search engines that understand the hierarchical importance of legal headers. 🚀
• Legal Knowledge Graphs: Using the Markdown structure to map relationships between different regulatory tiers. 🧠
• LLM Fine-Tuning: Training models to generate legal documents that follow the official Indonesian legislative format. 🎓

📂 Dataset Structure

Each entry is optimized for ingestion:

• filename: The official name of the regulation (e.g., UU Nomor 1 Tahun 2024).
• content_md: The full text of the regulation in structured Markdown format. 📑
• metadata: Includes the type of regulation, year of issuance, and original source references.
