*Workshop 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 is 
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 We invite unpublished 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.
