link_id missing

[datanizing]

This is a very interesting project.

Could you also provide the link_id in addition to the id itself? This would allow construction of a valid Reddit URL for each comment.

Hi datanizing,

Thank you for your interest!

We do indeed provide the link_id in the corpus:

<text id="…" permalink="…" …>
<submission id="…" created_utc="…">
…
</submission>
<comment id="…" link_id="…" …>
…
</comment>
<comment …>
…
</comment>
…
</text>

If you are looking for a link to the original thread, you can also just use www.reddit.com + text['permalink'].

Did you re-build the corpus from scratch or did you access it through our CQPweb instance?

Hi Philipp,

that XML file looks interesting and would contain all information for retrieving the article. However, I can't find it in the repository, there is just a file called german-comment-ids.txt.gz which contains the id only. You need either the link_id or the permalink for downloading a Reddit object.

We would like to rebuild the corpus, perform even more language detection and extend it.

Christian
