 <!-- Address questions around how the dataset is intended to be used. -->
 
-### Direct Use
+- Study patterns from previous vulnerability fixes to address current vulnerabilities effectively.
+- Evaluate and compare performance of static analysis tools (e.g., CodeQL, Semgrep) on real-world vulnerabilities.
+- Assess and measure accuracy, recall, precision, and false-positive rates of various security tools across different vulnerability types.
+- Use detailed fix information to improve automatic patch generation and vulnerability remediation systems.
+- Provide examples of code vulnerabilities and their respective fixes to educate developers, cybersecurity professionals, and students.
+
+### Direct Use Examples
 
 <!-- This section describes suitable use cases for the dataset. -->
 
-[More Information Needed]
+- Analyzing past Java-based CVE fixes on CWE-022 classifications to develop guidelines for addressing file-access vulnerabilities
+- Conducting controlled experiments to systematically quantify false positives and true positive detections of security tools for injection
+- Developing interactive security training modules that showcase vulnerabilities alongside detailed explanations of the actual patches
 
 ### Out-of-Scope Use
 
-<!-- This section addresses misuse, malicious use, and uses that the dataset will not work well for. -->
-
-[More Information Needed]
+- Because the dataset covers only specific vulnerability types and limited CVEs, it should not be treated as a complete security benchmark for evaluating the entire security posture of software projects.
+- Sole reliance on the provided CVE data without additional context or tooling may lead to misinterpretations on what the vulnerability actually is.
+- Tools unrelated to static analysis or vulnerability patching (e.g., antivirus software) would likely see limited benefit from this dataset.
 
-## Dataset Structure
+### Misuse and Malicious Use
 
-<!-- This section provides a description of the dataset fields, and additional information about the dataset structure such as criteria used to create the splits, relationships between data points, etc. -->
+- Attackers could analyze vulnerable code examples to understand how to exploit similar software weaknesses
+- Detailed information about vulnerabilities might aid in crafting targeted attacks against unpatched software versions.

 ### Curation Rationale
 
-<!-- Motivation for the creation of this dataset. -->
-
-[More Information Needed]
+The dataset was created to provide a high-quality benchmark for evaluating the ability of IRIS to detect and fix real-world vulnerabilities in Java code. 
+Existing benchmarks often lack direct links to real CVEs and actionable fixes. 
+This dataset bridges that gap with reproducible, well-labeled examples tied to CVEs and CWEs.
 
 ### Source Data
 
 <!-- This section describes the source data (e.g. news text and headlines, social media posts, translated sentences, ...). -->
+- GitHub Security Advisories (https://github.com/advisories): Used to extract structured CVE metadata, severity ratings, affected packages, ecosystem information.
+- Github commits (https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/committing-changes-to-your-project/creating-and-editing-commits/about-commits): Commit logs and diffs were used to identify the buggy and fixed versions of code and determine class/method-level changes needed to fix the vulnerability.
+- MITRE CWE Database (https://cwe.mitre.org): Provided the classification, naming, description, and available links related to each vulnerability type.
 
 #### Data Collection and Processing
 
 <!-- This section describes the data collection and processing process such as data selection criteria, filtering and normalization methods, tools and libraries used, etc. -->
 
+- Projects were selected based on the availability of Java source code and documentation on how to fix the error 
+- Buggy and fixed code versions using git diff and commit history
+- Associated advisory information from GitHub Security Advisories and NVD
+- Class and method boundaries using AST analysis 
+- Patch validation was performed via manual review and automated testing where possible.

+- Biased toward Java: Only Java-based CVEs are included; generalization to other languages (e.g., C/C++, Python) should be done with caution.
+- Limited in CWE scope: Covers only 4 CWEs — CWE-022, CWE-078, CWE-079, CWE-094.
+- Biased toward open-source: Enterprise and closed-source vulnerabilities are excluded, limiting the scope of evaluation.
+- Manually vetted, which introduces potential human error or subjective judgment in what counts as the “core fix.”
