Accessible to all
No requests to parliaments, no complicated directories, no download restrictions: StateParl does the hard work of making content accessible. The debates are accessible without barriers. Just as it should be.
Machine-based evaluation
The evaluation of the data is supported by machine-aided processes. NLP is used to identify and highlight mentions of groups and individuals. This makes network analyses possible.
