@henare, I think it would be good to have there a whole debate leading up to the vote. For now Rada isn't sharing transcripts in a convenient for splitting way.
@lisoffsky thanks. It's not going to be easy but I think it can be done.
It appears that there is a part of the day's transcript for each vote and it looks like it includes useful text.
For example, these three votes each have a corresponding timestamp in the transcript:
For the one vote we're getting so far we've set our own
title
field to the title shown on that page:That shows up in TVFY like this:
According to the document that's correct :+1:
We also have a field in TVFY called
motion
. In the UK this is set to what the person says that is moving the motion, e.g. "I move that the bill be read a third time". In Australia we used to be able to do that but the parliamentary data no longer includes it.In Australia we set the
motion
field to be the whole debate leading up to the vote. We don't display this but we do use it in search. This means you can find divisions where MPs are talking about something you're interested in.It's also effectively the field we let you replace when you summarise a division on TVFY, i.e. what replaces the light yellow box in the screenshot above that starts, "This division is yet to be summarised."
@lisoffsky what should we set the
motion
field to, if anything, in our Ukrainian scraper?
