I was investigating ways to ingest and make searchable the minutes of town/county council minutes however there is no standard format for how these are stored and presented. Has anyone else been looking into this, is there any preferred format or international standard that could be suggested as a way to encourage councils to produce easily machine readable minutes. It would have to be easy for them to use and take no more effort than whatever that already use.
