Summary

Description

The thesauri are created and maintained to support the search and indexing work of Parliament. The dataset contains - Concepts (broad and narrow subject terms, including Parliamentary procedural terms) - Content types (material types) - Legislation names (Bills and Acts) - Names (members of the UK and European Parliament, and other names of newsworthy people) - Organisations (UK and worldwide bodies) - and a high-level Taxonomy used on the Parliamentary website for public access to material. Each entry is made up of a lead term (descriptor), and can include synonyms, and relationships. The thesauri undergo constant revision as new issues, organisations, names and legislation are discussed in Parliament.
