**This is the annotation guideline we developed for the impact database V1. **
The general guideline descripes the database structure used in database V1, the definition of all impact categories, and the specific normalization rules for unclear text.
We have publised a paper https://aclanthology.org/2024.climatenlp-1.7/ related to our perliminary experiments and results, the definition and the normalization rules we applied in the paper is listed.
We started our project with the database schema with two layers information, main and sub, which is a baseline of our gold data.
