Re: Debates of the European Parliament as LOD

Juan,

The G8 Open Data Charter Technical Annex contains Topics and Categories which would be a good starting point [1].

I scraped it and linked it with URN's to the US Library of Congress ID Servers.  I can supply that table if it would save you some time [2].

 Laura,
 
 
 
 Is the data tagged or annotated somehow to specific
 topics? 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 No. What we do have in that direction is the title of the
 agenda item, for example “French Football Federation
 fine” or “Statement by Mr Prodi”. Also, we have info
 on the committee that the speakers work in. E.g. a speech
 from someone in the agriculture committee
  is likely to be about agriculture. However, people can be
 members of multiple committees.

 Dear Tim,
 
 
 
 Yes it is. Thanks for looking into it!
