Re: vocabularies for parliamentary proceedings

Hi Tatiana,

I tried the search service on Joinup [1] to look for relevant "semantic 
assets" about parliamentary proceedings. Perhaps CEN MetaLex [2] and the 
Parliament Ontology [3] are also relevant to your work.

with kind regards,
Stijn

Hi Tatiana,
Seems like a simple question but I didn't come up with the answer quickly. 
 Are you looking for Linked Data vocabs about parliamentary proceedings? 
If so, I bet if you pinged some of the folks on the UK Public Sector 
Linked Data working group [1] they could point you to something helpful. I 
*think* data.gov.uk has parliamentary proceedings published in RDF.

Note: The oeGov stuff by TopQuadrant is relevant for US Government data, 
but not parliamentary based systems.

Cheers,
Bernadette Hyland

We've just had this query on the WebSchemas list; does anyone here

Dear All,

I am looking for the existing vocabularies/ontologies (in English) that 
can
be used to describe the structure of documents of parliamentary 
proceedings,
i.e., written records of parliamentary meetings. For example, I am
interested in expressing such concepts as parliamentary proceedings, 
topics
(discussed agenda of the proceedings), speeches inside topics (verbal ) 
and
paragraphs that constitute parliamentary speeches.

Is anybody aware of such vocabularies? So far I have not found anything
specific, only vocabularies that allow to describe structure of generic
documents such as [1] or [2] .

I had a quick look and found
http://cantorva.com/2009NS/twfyl-lod-demo/vocab/ based on searching
for 'theyworkforyou' (see
http://www.mysociety.org/projects/theyworkforyou/ ) and 'rdf'. There
was also a thread ages ago on the FOAF list about describing the
Italian parliament,
http://lists.foaf-project.org/pipermail/foaf-dev/2008-October/009396.html
For US, GovTrack might be of interest:
http://datahub.io/dataset/govtrack

Hope this helps,

Dan
