Swiss parliament minutes scraping
Is the Swiss parliament really useful ? Once elected, what are our councilors talking about ? Who is answering to who ?
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
- person vs. vocabulary
- dialogue order
- gender
Our NEW 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 .cvs counterpart. We had size problems, thus exploring ways to produce several .csv
