AUTNES Content Analysis of Party Manifestos: Cumulative File (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 2002-2017. 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。政党竞选纲领AUTNES（AUTNES）数据集涵盖2002年至2017年奥地利国民议会选举中各参选政党的相关竞选纲领，纲领内的所有自然语句均纳入该数据集。
本数据集的分析单元为通过一系列单元化规则从上述自然语句中提取得到的标准化表述。
编码流程采用AUTNES关系分析法，对竞选纲领中的主语、谓语与宾语进行标注。主语施动者通常为政党，也可以是纲领中提及的其他主体。宾语分为议题与宾语施动者两类。
编码人员需从AUTNES议题编码体系中选取最贴合表述内容的单一议题以完成议题标注。每条表述可标注一名宾语施动者，标注信息包含施动者姓名（若为个体）及其所属机构。
议题谓语以数值形式标注主语针对该议题（若存在）的立场：（有条件）支持、（有条件）反对或持中立态度。同理，宾语施动者谓语以数值形式标注主语针对该宾语施动者的立场：支持、反对或持中立态度。
除基础的主-谓-宾结构外，本数据集还对所有主语施动者、宾语施动者以及政党档案与竞选承诺进行特征标注。
变量说明如下：
1. sentence（自然语句原文）：自然语句的文本内容；
2. statement（派生表述）：由自然语句提取得到的标准化表述；
3. page number（页码）：该自然语句所在竞选纲领的页码；
4. organizational affiliation of the subject actor（主语施动者所属机构）：主语施动者的所属机构，通常为政党；
5. name of the subject actor（主语施动者姓名）：若施动者为个体，则标注其姓名；
6. attributes of the subject actor（主语施动者属性）：主语施动者的相关属性；
7. issue predicate（议题谓语）：主语与议题间的关系；
8. issue category（议题类别）：为该表述选取的议题类别；
9. statement refers to regulation of the issue on the European level（欧盟层级议题监管关联）：该表述是否涉及欧盟层级的议题监管；
10. 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)（跨层级治理参考）：表述是否提及某政党自身或其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；
11. pledge（竞选承诺）：分为主观承诺（需通过价值判断评估的承诺）与客观承诺（可通过客观方式验证的承诺）两类；
12. object actor predicate（宾语施动者谓语）：主语与宾语施动者间的关系；
13. organization of the object actor（宾语施动者所属机构）：宾语施动者的所属机构，通常为政党；
14. name of the object actor（宾语施动者姓名）：若施动者为个体，则标注其姓名；
15. characteristics of the object actor（宾语施动者特征）：宾语施动者的特征，包括能力、品性、领导力、形象等；
16. year of election（选举年份）：该竞选纲领对应的选举年份；
17. party authoring the manifesto（纲领起草政党）：起草该竞选纲领的政党；
18. title of the manifesto（纲领标题）：竞选纲领的标题。
额外编码字段包括：每条观测值的ID编号，以及语句ID（sentence-ID）。
