I feel like this might be ambiguous what we mean by forecast here. It might be possible that someone could interpret this as "forecaster" and think that we are not including any forecaster that predicts cases and deaths but also other things, or any forecaster that also predicts for horizons 5 weeks ahead, etc.

I'm not sure how else to phrase it. The inclusion criteria is based on (forecaster, location, horizon, target) combinations, which we defined above as a "forecast".
I don't agree with using "dataset", since there are many different things that could be considered a dataset, so I find the phrase less clear.

That's fair, we do define forecast explicitly above. Maybe we should change the definition of "Forecaster" above to say "A model producing forecasts." That would be even clearer (and better than what I had there I think).

Ok, I updated that and some of the surrounding terms. I think it's clearer, although the phrasing was tricky to decide.
