Description
In this paper, we present a sentiment-annotated Twitter gold
standard for the Brexit referendum. The data set consists of 2,000
Twitter messages (“tweets”) annotated with information about the
sentiment expressed, the strength of the sentiment, and context
dependence. This is a valuable resource for social media-based
opinion mining in the context of political events.
