International Workshop on Parliamentary Data Scraping 2023/12/19

The "Parliamentary Data Scraping Workshop" focuses on addressing the challenges of
making parliamentary data public. Therefore, the second day of the workshop is divided into
two sessions: "Exchange of Information Engineering Techniques" and "Sharing of
Parliamentary Status." After collecting issues faced by different parliaments, engineers will
apply solutions such as data scraping techniques, web design, and user experience to
make parliamentary information more accessible through programs and websites.
Civic Alliance aims to establish an Asian Parliamentary Open Data Index and continue to
connect civic groups and engineers, combining technology and advocacy to promote
democratic progress and international cooperation, thereby increasing parliamentary
efficiency and professionalism.
