We are happy to announce the release of a new linked dataset: the
proceedings of the plenary debates of the European Parliament as Linked
Open Data.
The dataset covers all plenary debates held in the European Parliament (EP)
between July 1999 and January 2014, and biographical information about the
members of parliament. It includes: the monthly sessions of the EP, the
agenda of debates, the spoken words and translations thereof in 21
languages; the speakers, their role and the country they represent;
membership of national parties, European parties and commissions. The data
is available though a SPARQL endpoint, see
http://linkedpolitics.ops.few.vu.nl/ for more details.
Please note that this is a first version; we hope you will try it out and
send us your feedback!
- Access to the data -
We provide access in three ways:
• Through a SPARQL endpoint at http://linkedpolitics.ops.few.vu.nl/sparql/
• Using the ClioPatria web interface at http://linkedpolitics.ops.few.vu.nl/
• By downloading data dumps. See http://linkedpolitics.ops.few.vu.nl/.
I am on a plane so I can't check but I hope also the data is Linked Data,
in that every URI used can be looked up directly by HTTP GET.

Great.
It works for me with cwm and curl.
With firefox with the tabulator extension I get a 500 error.
I thought that it was maybe confused because tabulator accepts HTML and RDF.
But trying that with an accept header doesn't reproduce the problem

Re: Debates of the European Parliament as LOD
Dear Laura, As you said (in your other email) it would be good to add some info on where this data came from. At the moment people don’t know what this dataset is about when they access it on http://data.linkeddatafragments.org, and also we would not mind to be acknowledged ;) Rest assured that more metadata will be coming; we just have to add this functionality to the server implementation. It's on the planned feature list :-) Best, Ruben

Dear Laura, all, Thanks for publishing this dataset under an open license, this is a great example of the power of Linked Data! We have made the dataset available as triple pattern fragments under the following URL: http://data.linkeddatafragments.org/linkedpolitics. This data can now be queried with a Linked Data Fragments client (https://github.com/LinkedDataFragments/Client.js). If people are interested, we can add some example queries to the online client (http://client.linkeddatafragments.org/). Best regards, Ruben
