Definitions and Sample Contracts Data

Definitions

Here we define some of the terms used in this documentation.

  • Analytics Hub—is the distribution model within BigQuery. It is the mechanism used to expose a dataset for private repositories. This is how Google distributes the SEC Repository.
  • Dataset—is a collection of BigQuery tables. In terms of Law Insider, if you created a private repository, e.g., private.my_contracts48dc the DB Dataset that you would be able to subscribe to in the Analytics Hub will be called private.my_contracts48dc. Then the user can query for all the metadata in documents that were uploaded to the private.my_contracts48dc.
  • SEC Repository—is downloaded from Google BigQuery every day. Thus you can query your contracts and SEC financial data in the same table. You can distinguish SEC documents from contracts by querying the column document_is_contract.
