ParliamentRAG — Italian Parliament, 19th legislature

The work of both houses of the Italian Parliament, the Chamber of Deputies (Camera dei deputati) and the Senate (Senato della Repubblica), in the 19th legislature: sittings of the floor and of the committees, full speech transcripts, roll-call votes with every individual ballot, acts with their signatories and EuroVoc subjects, amendments and the deadlines for tabling them in committee, and the members with their mandates, groups and committees.

Data as of: Chamber 2026-11-13, Senate 2026-11-11 (last sitting held). Exported on 2026-11-15. The tables are refreshed every night from the same database that serves www.parliamentrag.it, which is loaded from the official open data of the two houses (dati.camera.it, dati.senato.it) and from their records. The export code is public: pipeline/esporta. A monthly RDF version is archived on Zenodo: 10.5281/zenodo.21560331.

All content is in Italian.

amendment_deadlines	1,411	Deadlines for tabling amendments in committee: act, committee, due date and time, event (fixed, extended, expired) and the sentence of the summary record they are read from

Identifiers are shared across tables: id of sessions is session elsewhere, id of votes is vote, persons are person (e.g. it:person:camera:302940, it:person:senato:32; source_uri gives the official dati.camera.it or dati.senato.it URI, same_as the same person in the other house). The chamber column is camera or senato.

Ballot results in individual_votes are favor, against, abstain, absent, mission, chair, present_not_voting and, for secret ballots, voted (who voted for or against is not public).

Amendment deadlines are read from the committee summary records by fixed rules and kept only when a second reading by a language model gives the same date. sentence is the evidence; event is fixed, extended (moved to a new date) or expired. The same deadline can appear more than once, when several sittings mention it.

Committee sittings often have no verbatim record: their speeches come from the official summary (kind = summary, from the Chamber's Bollettino or the Senate's summary record), not from a transcript.

Not included: embeddings, user conversations, AI-written summaries.
