What problem does it solve?
This skill solves the challenge of querying complex, interconnected parliamentary data—such as linking people, procedures, and statutory instruments—which are otherwise siloed across multiple REST APIs.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Cross-Domain Joins: Perform complex queries that join data across people, parties, government positions, and procedural steps using a single SPARQL endpoint.
- Schema Discovery: Explore the parl: ontology, including class hierarchies and instance counts, to understand the structure of the DDP graph.
- Use Case: Identify all ministers who held a specific government position and were simultaneously members of a select committee during a specific parliamentary period.
Quick Start
Use the sparql skill to query the parliament endpoint for a list of all current members and their associated political parties.
