The Italian Parliament has created the possibility to access historical parliamentary data as linked open data.

In the portal dati.camera.it, data has been made available covering Members of Parliament, parliamentary bodies, parliamentary groups, and the work of parliamentarians, up until the current session of Parliament. This historical data is available for download and through a SPARQL end-point, as linked open data.

The license added to the site is a Creative Commons BY SA. The 'share alike' condition may be an obstacle for re-use when combined with other datasets, resulting in conflicting re-use conditions.

Further datasets and regular updates are announced as forthcoming.
