“…In addition, interdisciplinary workshops on working with parliamentary records and co-locaated with the LREC conference were organised (2018,2020,2022) under the guidance of CLARIN. Finally, the Parla-CLARIN recommendations for encoding parliamentary corpora (Erjavec and Pančur, 2021) 2 were proposed at the "CLARIN ParlaFormat Workshop" in 2019.…”

This paper discusses the encoding, validation and development of language resources of the completed ParlaMint I and on-going ParlaMint II CLARIN projects, which centre on the collaborative development of a large set of interoperable corpora of parliamentary proceedings. It focuses on the ParlaMint encoding and the GitHub development platform and the evaluation of their use by project partners. We introduce the use of TEI ODD for the encoding guidelines and validation schemas. We motivate and explain using Git to develop and maintain the encoding schemas, validation and conversion scripts and valid samples of the corpora. Apart from revision control, issues, and publishing documentation, the GitHub platform also supports integrating code execution with pull requests, which significantly automates the data submission process. The paper also presents the results of a survey on the use of TEI and Git in the ParlaMint projects among the project participants. Overall, participants were mostly positive about their experiencewith TEI and Git, although some difficulties were reported. Some partners also expressed doubts about whether the current scheme is flexible enough to support encoding the unique features of sometimes drastically different parliamentary systems. On the other hand, reactions to Git were very positive in terms of information and feedback received via GitHub Issues, effectiveness in the communication process, and plans to use Git in the future. However, there was less agreement on whether the requirements and workflows were adequately explained.The reported difficulties will serve as a basis for further Git workflow optimisation in ParlaMint.

“…Finally, we transformed the speeches into two parallel data sets: (1) an RDF (Resource Description Framework) [25] format speech knowledge graph, forming linked data and (2) an XML corpus formed according to the Parla-CLARIN v0.2 specification [26]. More on this transformation can be read from [9].…”

This paper presents the OCR pipeline created for ParliamentSampo - Parliament of Finland on the Semantic Web, a Linked Open Data (LOD) service, data infrastructure, and semantic portal for studying Finnish political culture, language, and networks of the Members of Parliament (MP). A knowledge graph of linked data has been created based on ca. 967 000 speeches in all plenary sessions of the Parliament of Finland in 1907—2022; the data is also available in XML format, utilizing the new international Parla- CLARIN format. A central part of the historical debates 1907-1999 was available only as PDF documents of fairly low OCR quality and had to be OCRed first; this paper reports lessons learned from this process.

“…The corpora are available in two modes: as data (Erjavec T. e., 2021)and in concordancing tools. At the moment version 2.1 are available but version 3.0 is expected at the end of June 2023 and version 3.1 -at the end of September 2023.…”

The paper focuses on the use case of parliamentary debates as part of Digital Humanities. First, the ParlaMint project is outlined as a flagship initiative of CLARIN ERIC infrastructure. The project makes content from the national and regional parliaments visible, comparable and accessible for policy making and research. Then, the approaches are considered that have been applied in the creation of 31 corpora from national and regional parliaments. Last but not least, the utility of the multilingual resource is discussed.
