Hello @federico-boschetti!

Thank you for your contribution! I made #122 to add the dataset description to the catalog.

I have two questions regarding the dataset:

1. I saw that some lines are not segmented or transcribed. It's not a problem, but I just wanted to make sure it is intentional.

2. regarding the organization of the repository, I think it would be easier to users if you put all the JPEG and the XML files in a data/ folder, in stead of having them all at the root level. (like what we suggested in the template). Do you think you could do this ?

Otherwise, as far as the description is concerned, it's all good for merging

Hello @alix-tz !
Thank you for your feed-back.

1. Omissions are intentional (introductory formulae and signatures were over-represented and lowered the performance of the training);
2. I created the "data" directory and I filled it with images and XML files, as you suggested.

Awesome! I just confirmed the addition of the description of the dataset to the catalog.

Thank you again!
