A new, comprehensive database of all proceedings of the Australian Parliamentary Debates (1998-2022)

This database contains data on the proceedings from each sitting day in the Australian Parliament by the House of Representatives from 02 March 1998 to 08 September 2022, in both CSV and parquet forms. These data were parsed entirely from the XML Hansard transcripts available on the Australian Parliament website. The database is stored in the folder hansard-corpus.zip, which contains the full Hansard corpus in CSV form and in parquet form. Since the last version released on 6 July 2023, we have made the following updates: Standardized the formatting of the "name" column for consistency and completeness. Re-populated the "name.id", "uniqueID", and "gender" variables to correct for any errors due to parsing or Hansard transcription. The correct "name" and "name.id" mapping was identified using data from the ausPH R package. Added "member" and "senator" flag variables using data from the AustralianPoliticians R package. Manually fixed any cases where an MP was quoting someone else in their speech, and that quotation was incorrectly separated onto a new row.本数据库收录了1998年3月2日至2022年9月8日期间澳大利亚众议院每日议会会议的议事记录，数据提供CSV与Parquet两种格式。所有数据均源自澳大利亚议会官网公开的XML版汉萨德（Hansard）议事实录。 该数据库存储于hansard-corpus.zip压缩包内，内含完整汉萨德语料库的CSV格式与Parquet格式版本。 自2023年7月6日发布上一版本以来，本次更新内容如下： 1. 统一"name"列的格式，以提升数据的一致性与完整性。 2. 重新生成"name.id"、"uniqueID"及"gender"变量，修正因解析或汉萨德转录流程导致的各类错误。本次修正所用的"name"与"name.id"映射关系，依托ausPH R软件包（ausPH R package）的数据完成。 3. 基于AustralianPoliticians R软件包（AustralianPoliticians R package）的数据，新增"member"与"senator"标识变量。 4. 手动修复了所有议员在发言中引用他人内容但该引用被错误拆分至单独行的案例。
