AUTNES Content Analysis of Party Manifestos 2006 (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 2006. 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。本AUTNES政党纲领数据集涵盖了2006年奥地利国民议会选举中各参选相关政党的竞选纲领。纲领内的所有自然语句均纳入本数据集。
本数据集的分析单元为通过一套单元化规则从上述自然语句中提取得到的标准化表述。本次编码流程采用AUTNES关系标注方法，对政党纲领中的主语、谓词与宾语进行记录。主语施动者通常为政党，也可以是纲领中引用的其他行动主体。
客体分为两类：议题与客体行动主体。编码人员需从AUTNES议题编码体系中选取最贴合该表述内容的单一议题，以此完成议题的标注记录。每条表述可标注一个客体行动主体，需记录其名称（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：包括（附条件）支持、（附条件）反对，或持中立态度。同理，客体行动主体谓词通过数值化方式记录主体针对该客体行动主体的立场：包括支持、反对，或持中立态度。
除基础的主语-谓词-宾语三元组结构外，本数据集还对所有主语行动主体、客体行动主体、政党记录及竞选承诺进行了特征属性编码。
变量包括：自然语句原文（即自然语句的文本内容）；从自然语句提取得到的标准化表述；自然语句所在纲领的页码；主语行动主体的所属组织（通常为政党）；若主语行动主体为个体，则记录其姓名；主语行动主体的属性；议题谓词（主体与议题间的关系）；为该表述选取的议题类别；表述涉及欧盟层面的议题监管；提及某政党自身或政治对手在不同治理层级（国家级、州级、国际级、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）；客体行动主体谓词（主体与客体行动主体间的关系）；客体行动主体的所属组织（通常为政党）；若客体行动主体为个体，则记录其姓名；客体行动主体的特征属性（包含能力、品格、领导力、形象）；该纲领对应的选举年份；起草该纲领的政党；纲领的标题。
额外编码项包括：每条观测样本的ID编号；语句ID（sentence-ID）。
