Caesar: Bello Gallico Book 2 selections (50 BC); Cicero: In Catilinam 1.1-2.11 (63 BC); Jerome: Vulgate: Apocalypse (AD 400); Ovid: Metamorphoses: Book I (AD 8); Petronius: Satyricon 26-78 (Cena Trimalchionis) (AD 60); Propertius: Elegies: Book I (25 BC); Sallust: Catilina (63 BC); Vergil: Aeneid (Book 6 selections) (19 BC).

LDT contains 53143 tokens in 3473 non-empty sentences, yielding 15.30 tokens per sentence on average. No official training-test data split is defined. For our HamleDT experiments, we took the medium-sized file called 1999.02.0029.xml (4789 tokens / 316 sentences; Ovid: Metamorphoses) for testing and the rest (48354 tokens / 3157 sentences) for training.

The native file format of the treebank is based on XML.

Morphological annotation consists of lemma and nine-character positional morphosyntactic tag. Disambiguation has been done manually (gold standard).

The syntactic annotation style is very similar to that of the Prague Dependency Treebank. The syntactic tags (analytical functions) are almost identical, too.
