Digging into Linked Parliamentary Data (DiLiPaD)

Abstract

The goals of the DiLiPaD project were to 1) enhance the existing corpora of parliamentary data from the UK (1803 to the present) and Canada (1867 to the present) to the same standards as the comparable Netherlands corpus covering 1814 to the present; 2) develop new tools for the study of this data; 3) explore research questions, both in conjunction with and following on from the enhancement of the data and the provision of these tools. Specifically the project team investigated gender and politics, focusing on the role of women in parliamentary debate, the framing of same-sex marriage and the measuring of emotion in parliamentary debates
