Motivation

[edit]

The above properties allow for storing data about seating plans for parliaments and other assemblies. This would aid the creation of visualizations of votes and such. A legislative term can point to a "seating plan" item, which can link to an image with a data-seat-id attribute for each seat, and the item can have a statement define who sits in each seat referencing it by the same id. These can also be qualified with start/end dates should the seats change mid-term.

Unresolved issues (suggestions for solutions would be most welcome):

  • How to deal with terms that cover multiple legislative houses, each with different seating plan?
  • Or, as with the European Parliament, an assembly with multiple meeting places, each with their own seating plan?
  • How to handle seats that are held by whoever's holding a particular role, rather than a specific member?

(Also, I don't have any specific concrete plans for how to, in practice, convert an SVG with a some extra data into a usable visualization.)
