First of all let me take the opportunity to thank you for this very useful corpus of trade agreements.

I think the text of the FTA between Chile and the US (pta_53) is incomplete. In this repository, the FTA has only 13 chapters while in the official version there are 24.

According to: Wolfgang Alschner, Julia Seiermann, and Dmitriy Skougarevskiy. "Text of Trade Agreements (ToTA)—A Structured Corpus for the Text-as-Data Analysis of Preferential Trade Agreements" Journal of Empirical Legal Studies Volume 15, Issue 3, 648–666, September 2018.

"First, we deleted annexes and schedules to focus on the main body of each agreement."

"Text cleaning: Every retrieved PTA text was cleaned manually to remove annexes, schedules, and protocols. In other words, only PTA full texts were taken into consideration. Where possible, we also corrected typos and errors induced by optical character recognition."

I believe the incomplete Chile-US trade agreement is due to this cleaning choice; the final chapters were an annex.
