June 10, 2006 at 4:17AM Collecting data for a visualisation of the Dála
Damien suggested on his site that it’d be nice to have a visualisation of the makeups of the various Dála over the years. Seeing as we’re going to need that for Vocal Voter, I thought I’d give it a spin. In preparation for it, I compiled an XML file listing the makeup of each Dáil, the parties at the time, which were in government, and so on. I don’t have a list of the sitting TDs, but that’s for another day.
The schema used is in flux. Some of the elements will likely be renamed, and I may list the each of the Ceann Comhairle properly.
I found this panoramic shot of the Dáil, which should help in creating the visualisation.
Update (June 21st)
The visualiser is online! More about it here.
