AUTNES Content Analysis of Party Manifestos 2002 (SUF edition)

Full edition for scientific use. The AUTNES dataset on party manifestos covers the manifestos of the relevant parties that competed in the Austrian national elections 2002. All natural sentences within the manifestos are part of the dataset. The units of analysis are standardized statements derived from these natural sentences by means of a set of unitizing rules. The coding procedure applies the AUTNES relational approach of recording subjects, predicates, and objects to party manifestos. The subject actor is usually the party, but it can also be another actor being cited in the manifesto. There are two types of objects: issues and object actors. Issues are recorded by coders selecting from the AUTNES issue coding scheme the one issue that fits the content of the statement best. One object actor can be recorded per statement, each with their name (if an individual is present) and organizational affiliation. The issue predicate numerically records whether the subject's position towards the issue (if present) is one of (conditional) support, (conditional) rejection, or conveys a neutral stance. Similarly, the object actor predicate numerically records whether the subject's position towards the object actor is one of support, rejection, or conveys a neutral stance. In addition to the basic subject–predicate–object structure we code character traits for all subject and object actors as well as the party record and pledges. Variables: sentence (the text of the natural sentence); statement derived from the natural sentence; page number of the manifesto where the natural sentence can be found; organizational affiliation of the subject actor (usually the party); name of the subject actor if an individual; attributes of the subject actor; issue predicate (the relation between subject and issue); issue category selected for the statement; statement refers to regulation of the issue on the European level; reference to a party's own or a political opponent's past behavior or achievements at different levels of governance (national level, land level, international level, historical); pledge (subjective pledges: promises whose evaluation requires a value judgement, objective pledges: promises that can be objectively tested); object actor predicate (relation between subject and object actor); organization of the object actor (usually the party); name of the object actor if individual; characteristics of the object actor (attributes: competence, character, leadership, appearance); year of election for which the manifesto was published; party authoring the manifesto; title of the manifesto. Additionally coded was: ID number for each observation; sentence-ID.

供科研使用的完整版数据集。
AUTNES政党竞选纲领数据集涵盖了2002年奥地利国民议会选举中各参选政党的竞选纲领文本，纲领内的所有自然语句均被纳入该数据集。本数据集的分析单元为通过一套单元化编码规则从上述自然语句中提取得到的标准化陈述。编码流程采用AUTNES关系型编码方法，对政党竞选纲领中的主体、谓词与客体进行标注。主体行动者通常为政党本身，也可以是纲领中引用的其他行动者。客体分为两类：议题与客体行动者。编码人员需从AUTNES议题编码体系中选取与陈述内容匹配度最高的单一议题，以此完成议题标注。每条陈述可标注一名客体行动者，需记录其姓名（若为个体）与所属组织。议题谓词通过数值化方式，记录主体针对该议题（若存在）的立场：（有条件）支持、（有条件）反对，或持中立态度。类似地，客体行动者谓词同样通过数值化方式，记录主体针对该客体行动者的立场：支持、反对或持中立态度。除基础的主体-谓词-客体结构外，本数据集还对所有主体与客体行动者、政党相关记录以及竞选承诺进行了特质编码。
变量说明如下：自然语句（即原始自然语句文本）、由自然语句衍生得到的标准化陈述、该自然语句所在竞选纲领的页码、主体行动者的所属组织（通常为政党）、主体行动者的姓名（若为个体）、主体行动者的属性、议题谓词（主体与议题间的关系）、为该陈述选取的议题类别、陈述是否涉及欧洲层面的议题监管、是否提及政党自身或政治对手在不同治理层级（国家级、州级、国际级及历史层面）的过往行为或政绩、竞选承诺（主观承诺：需通过价值判断进行评估的承诺；客观承诺：可通过客观方式验证的承诺）、客体行动者谓词（主体与客体行动者间的关系）、客体行动者的所属组织（通常为政党）、客体行动者的姓名（若为个体）、客体行动者的特征（属性包括：能力、品格、领导力、形象）、该竞选纲领对应的选举年份、起草该纲领的政党、竞选纲领的标题。
额外编码字段包括：每条观测值的ID编号、语句ID（sentence-ID）。
