About
This dataset provides public product information for DCS WORLD campaigns, designed for various text analyses and exporting purposes. It includes details that customers can typically view on the DCS-WORLD.COM website, excluding price information which was not available for scraping. The data product is available in two forms:
dcs_campaign_data
, a raw text file, and dcs_campaign_data_tagged
, a pre-processed tagged text file ready for Natural Language Processing (NLP). The latest update to the campaign product data was in September 2022.Columns
The dataset is split into several key columns:
- name: The name of the specific campaign.
- description: The product description provided by the campaign creator, publicly visible on the website.
