German Bundestag Legislative Processes

Description

This collection captures parliamentary procedures of the German Bundestag as interconnected object-centric event logs (OCEL) and corresponding flattened XES logs spanning the 19th and 20th legislative periods (2017-2025). It is based on extensive extractions from the Dokumentations- und Informationssystem für Parlamentsmaterialien (DIP), preserving relationships between processes, documents, positions, and activities for multi-object analysis.

  • Events stem from both Vorgangsposition (procedure steps) and Aktivitaet (sub-steps), with additional event types inferred from available timestamps.
  • Objects are typed using the DIP Vorgangstyp classifications, resulting in 44 object types and 148 event types within the 20th-period OCEL.
  • When redistributing or analysing the data, acknowledge the source as “Deutscher Bundestag/Bundesrat - DIP”.
