==== Swiss parliament minutes scraping ====

[[http://parlement.letemps.ch]]

Is the Swiss parliament really useful ? Once elected, what are our councilors talking about ? Who is answering to whom ?

Goal of this project is to answer some of these questions and many more. To do this, we are planning to:

  - Scrape the parliament website in order to retrieve councilors bio, topics discussed and minutes
  - Structure them in session, intervention (with rank/order), author and text

In order to perform some analysis, as 
    -  from keywords, who talks about what, by parties, cantons and people
    - person vs. vocabulary
    - dialogue order
    - gender

Our NEW [[https://github.com/douglas-watson/parl-scraping|github]] (careful, we had to fork it at the beginning of day 2).

=== Data ===
Raw data are available as one single JSON file, and its .csv counterpart. We had size problems, thus exploring ways to produce several .csv.
**The [[https://github.com/douglas-watson/parl-scraping/tree/master/data|final folder for our data is on github]], the [[https://github.com/douglas-watson/parl-scraping/blob/master/data/with-bio-split-csv.zip|.csv files split by session are here]].**

== Structure of the main JSON (on Giovanni's side, complement with the bio data from the Parliament API) ==

list of interventions, with the following fields:

  * Link_subject: link to the page of the subject under discussion (cf. CuriaVista)
  * Surname: of the person speaking
  * Description: of the subject under discussion
  * Bio: link to the page of the person speaking
  * Canton: of provenance
  * Subject_id: of the subject under discussion (still to be understood: typology)
  * Date: of the intervention (DD.MM.YY)
  * Group: political group of the person speaking at the moment of the intervention
  * Session_title: title of the session (Séance)
  * Data: transcript of the intervention
  * Name: of the person speaking

== Structure of the Parliament API data via Yannick ==

  * [[http://ws.parlament.ch/councillors/823?format=json|Very rich example fields-wise]] (thus almost complete) for one councillor
  * [[http://ws.parlament.ch/councillors|All councillors]]
  * [[http://www.parlament.ch/e/dokumentation/webservices-opendata/Documents/webservices-info-dritte-e.pdf|API's doc]]
  * [[https://github.com/douglas-watson/parl-scraping/tree/master/biography_retrieval|Code on github]]
  * From those data, building of a file (light one) describing members of parliament ([[https://github.com/douglas-watson/parl-scraping/tree/master/biography_csv_extract|script on github in the same folder]])

Fields are: 	id	cantonName	council	firstName	lastName	party	active	birthDate	gender	language	maritalStatus	militaryGrade	partyId	salutationLetter	workLanguage

== Structure of the final files from Jérémie ==

1 JSON file + its .csv counterpart for each Parliament session of the National Council from 1995.
The same datasets are also available split as one JSON/CSV file per legislative session.

== Graph data for Yannick ==

graph.csv: edgeless with Source (bio url as id of person replying to) - Destination (bio url as id of person talking before) - Subject (id of subject under discussion) - Date (of intervention, YY.MM.DD)
nodes.csv: nodelist with bio id - name - surname - canton - political group
