Meeting Description:

Parliamentary data is a major source of socially relevant content. It is
available in ever larger quantities, is multilingual, accompanied by rich
metadata, and has the distinguishing characteristic that it spoken language
produced in controlled circumstances that has been traditionally transcribed
but now increasingly released also in audio and video formats. All those
factors in combination require solutions related to its archiving,
structuring, synchronization, visualization, querying and analysis.
Furthermore, adequate approaches to its exploitation also have to take into
account the need of researchers from vastly different Humanities and Social
Sciences fields, such as political sciences, sociology, history, and
psychology.

An inspiring CLARIN-PLUS cross-disciplinary workshop “Working with
parliamentary records”  [1] that was held in Sofia, Bulgaria, in Spring 2017,
and a comprehensive overview of a multitude of the existing parliamentary
resources within the CLARIN infrastructure [2] clearly indicated a need for
better harmonization, interoperability and comparability of the resources and
tools relevant for the study of parliamentary discussions and decisions, not
only in Europe but worldwide.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers interested in compiling,
annotating, structuring, linking and visualising parliamentary records that
are suitable for research in a wide range of disciplines in the Humanities and
Social Sciences. We invite unpublished original work focusing on the
collection, analysis and processing of parliamentary records.
