Data collection containing plain text of the plenary proceedings in the danish parliament Folketinget. Data derives from https://beta.folketingstidende.dk/da/e_folketingstidende. Using a shell-script pdfs where webscraped from e-folketingstidende for each year. Due to the structure of e-folketingstidende this resulted in alot of pdf-files for each years. These pdf-files where then merged in to at single pdf-file pr. year. This step resulted in 48 pdf-files containing the proceedings. The last step was to extract the OCR-scanned text(the OCR was done by e-Folketingstidende) from the pdfs. The txt-files only contain text from the actual proceedings. Text from appendixes and other elements of Folketingstidende is therefore not a part of the text-files in this repository. In circumstances where the parliamentary sessions exceedes one these sessions have been concatenated.
Thanks to Jens Bisgaard for collecting the dataset which have taken some time
Thanks to Thomas Egense and Per Møldrup-Dalum for helping with designing the shell script used for webscraping.
