Include information on start dates and expected end dates for terms #98

Closed crowbot closed 5 years ago

[Description by @alexsdutton]

It would be useful downstream to be able to infer expected end dates for memberships. We can facilitate this by including start and (expected) end dates on terms in the legislative index. Downstream consumers can then associate these dates with memberships in the relevant popolo file.

FB REQUEST: Start and end term dates

alexdutton commented 5 years ago

This was further addressed by #117, which tells downstream consumers whether the membership explicitly refers to the term with a parliamentary term qualifier, so they can infer dates from that term.
