PTB-XL, a large publicly available electrocardiography dataset
https://physionet.org/content/ptb-xl/1.0.1/

Python (3.4 or later) must be installed on the user's computer to run the program. The program accepts file with PTB-XL annotaions in CSV format, JSON-file with PTB-XL annotation codes description and output directory path. The launch is done through the command line as shown below.

$ python annotateptbxl.py ann_file dict_file out_dir

• ann_file is a path to file in CSV format with PTB-XL annotations;
• dict_file is a path to file with annotatin codes description organized in dictionary in JSON format;
• out-dir is a directory path for result annotation files.

The format of the output files are described there. Annotations from the CSV are converted into text form and written in the comment field. The rest of the fields are filled in as follows

• type: STANDARD,
• annotator: PTB-XL annotators,
• database: PTB-XL ECG Dataset,
• conclusionThesaurus: PTB-XL,
• conclusions: empty array, [],
• record: record id.
