= Polish Political Ontology / Polska Ontologia Polityczna =

The Polish Political Ontology (PPO) is an RDF resource modelling the Polish political scene on national level covering the first 25 years of the Polish Third Republic (years 1989-2014). It includes significant actors based in Polish political and other public institutions – most importantly: legislative, executive and judiciary (members of government, deputies and juries).

== Data sources ==

The basic structure of the Polish political ontology follows the [[attachment:ppo.owl|POL ontology]] from the federated TMO suite – please see the [[http://www.lrec-conf.org/proceedings/lrec2014/pdf/115_Paper.pdf|LREC paper]] for details.

The instance data were retrieved from:
 * the database of all Polish MPs from 1991 until 2014 received from Polish Sejm
 * [[http://katalog.nukat.edu.pl/lib/item?id=chamo:3293977|Paweł Kaleta's book]] on the Polish structure (previous edition, dated 2010)
 * [[http://www.money.pl/gospodarka/politycy/|Money.pl portal data]] about Polish MPs  
 * information about Members of Europarliament retrieved from Wikipedia, see e.g. [[http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polscy_pos%C5%82owie_do_Parlamentu_Europejskiego_2004-2009|2004-09 cadency]]
 * manual update of data.
