Title The PoliMedia project - connecting political data and media data
Abstract I will present the PoliMedia project, in which we have created a linked dataset of political and media data. In PoliMedia, we aim to stimulate and facilitate large-scale analyses of the coverage of political events in the media, over long time spans and across media-outlets. We focus on the meetings of the Dutch parliament, and provide automatically generated links between the transcripts of those meetings, newspaper articles, including their original lay-out on the page, and radio bulletins. Via a web application users are able to search through the debates and find related media coverage in various media outlets. Furthermore, the generated links are available through a SPARQL endpoint. Furthermore, I will briefly introduce 'Talk of Europe', a follow-up project that started 2 weeks ago, for which I hope to get your feedback and ideas.
