DATA ON THE POLITICAL SYSTEM

Awards (pol_utmerkelser)

Politicians' awards is a field where we must expect large gaps in the data material. Duplicates cannot be avoided either, as the information comes from several older database tables.

Updates will typically take place every four years after a new parliamentary term has been established. The SQL script for this update has not yet been created at the time of writing, but will be able to start by comparing new data with the records we have with source 'Stortinget'.
