### Annotation Overview
<!-- START-ANNOTATION PLOTS -->
Each document comes with annotations describing its content, such as content quality, information density, and educational value.
Each bar shows the share of documents at each level of one annotation, from worst (light) to best (dark).
To learn more about the annotations and how to use them, see the [annotations section](https://huggingface.co/datasets/danish-foundation-models/norwegian-dynaword#annotations) of the main readme.
