Riksdagsmotioner

A visualization platform for exploring texts from motions from the Swedish parliament (Riksdagen). The website offers a search field where words or phrases can be entered and a line graph displaying usage frequency of the given search term over time.

The aim of the project is to explore ways of working with these texts and other textmaterial and to develop a critical methods to view this kind of data. The interface can display usage of search terms by political parties and offers methods to compare phrase usage by different parties.
