	title        = {Enhancing Swedish Parliamentary Data: Annotation, Accessibility, and Application in Digital Humanities},
	abstract     = {The Swedish bicameral parliament data presents a valuable textual resource that is of interest for many researches and scholars. The parliamentary texts offer many avenues for re- search including the study of how various af- fairs were run by governments over time. The Parliament proceedings are available in tex- tual format, but in their original form, they are noisy and unstructured and thus hard to explore and investigate. In this paper, we report the transformation of the raw bicameral parliament data (1867-1970) into a structured lexical re- source annotated with various word and doc- ument level attributes. The annotated data is then made searchable through two modern cor- pus infrastructure components which provide a wide array of corpus exploration, visualization, and comparison options. To demonstrate the practical utility of this resource, we present a case study examining the transformation of the concept of ’market’ over time from a tangible physical entity to an abstract idea.},
