WhatTheySaid: Enriching UK Parliament Debates with Semantic Web

چکیده
To improve the transparency of politics, the UK Parliament Debate archives have been published online for a long time. However there is still a lack of efficient way to deeply analysis the debate data.

It also provides various data visualisations for users to compare debates over years.
