Training Labels for TREC Blogs08 dataset

I want to share a set of annotations I made on the TREC Blogs08 test collection [1]. Just a short description: 83 blogs (12870 blog posts) were manually annotated with category values like blog genre, authorship (single author or multiauthor) and several information quality facets (e.g. factual, indepth, emotional).

I used the dataset for several publications and for the TREC Blog Distillation Task in 2009. Feel free to use the annotations, just give me and my colleagues credit by citing:

@InProceedings{Lex2010,
author = {Elisabeth Lex and Michael Granitzer and Markus Muhr and Andreas Juffinger},
title ={Stylometric Features for Emotion Level Classification in News Related Blogs},
booktitle ={Proceedings of the 9th ACM RIAO Conference},
year = {2010}
}
