The catalogue and the verification report, openly licensed

Sikhi University publishes the structure of its catalogue — course titles, topics, levels, professors, summaries, outcomes, lesson titles — and the Gurbani-quote verification report described on the content-integrity page, as a machine-readable, openly-licensed dataset. Researchers, other Sikhi projects, and search tools are welcome to reuse it.

What's in the dataset

  • Catalogue metadata. Titles, topics, levels, professors, summaries, learning outcomes, and lesson titles for every course — not the lesson prose or quiz content itself.
  • The verification report. Per-course counts of quoted Gurbani checked against the canonical snapshot — verified, mismatched, or not yet covered — plus totals.
  • Not included: scripture text. No Gurbani text is rehosted in this dataset. The canonical Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji text lives at BaniDB, and the dataset only ever points there — it never copies the text out.
