This project will enhance and enrich data from two hundred years of the UK Parliament in order to expose it to a wider audience within HE and to the general public. It is a collaboration between the University of Glasgow Enroller Project (a joint initiative of the National e-Science Centre and Glasgow's College of Arts) and two further partners: the General Architecture for Text Engineering project at the University of Sheffield, and the UCREL centre for language processing research at Lancaster University. Through combining the expertise and infrastructure of Enroller with the advanced text-processing techniques of our partners and the high-quality data provided by Parliament, we will maximize the potential and exposure of this unique resource for linguists, historians, cultural scholars, and the citizen.
