German Bundestag Legislative Processes
On this page
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.
