SemWebParlParse

Short name: semwebparlparse
A project's short name (or "unix" name) is used in many references to the project around the site.

About this project:

The SemWebParlParse project takes XML data about the UK Parliament and re-publishes it in semantic web format, enabling the information to be more easily used interoperably with other semantic information sources such as wikipedia (via its semantic web cousin dbpedia) and the BBC Programme Catalogue, an experimental prototype that provides access to a semantically-enabled catalogue of BBC television programmes.

The semantic information about the UK Parliament is generated from structured data published by the United Kingdom Parliament Parser project which scrapes websites carrying information about Members and Lords of Parliament, parliamentary debates, ministerial written answers, etc. This information is collated, structured and published as files of XML.

SemWebParlParse builds upon this XML (and other sources of relevant information) to create a semantic description of the data, a description that is intended to usefully enrich the way both people and programmes interact with the data.
