| ## Licensing — traceable basis |
| |
| Official parliamentary documents and materials are excluded from copyright by |
| article 4(2) of the Polish Copyright Act: https://eli.gov.pl/api/acts/DU/2025/24/text/O/D20250024.pdf. |
| |
| Reuse of public-sector information is governed by articles 2(12), 5, 6, 14, |
| 15 and 17 of the Polish Open Data Act: https://eli.gov.pl/api/acts/DU/2023/1524/text.html. |
| |
| The per-document value intentionally matches the existing `parliamentary` |
| source. No unverified upstream Creative Commons license is asserted. |
| |
| ## Provenance and reproducibility |
| |
| - Official provider: Kancelaria Sejmu RP. |
| - Immutable source release: `PiotrSty/sejm-speeches-corpus@v1.0.1`. |
| - Pinned source commit: `124557799608ce4212cf22fa90ca7904618de1b6`. |
| - Reviewed DynaWord base commit: `8cc48a3c564ac9edabfbbf012842ad11f70a3e5c`. |
| - Rebuild: `python src/fetch_sejm_api.py --help`. |
| - Source URLs and speech-level provenance are in `sejm_api.attribution.jsonl`. |
| - Slayer contribution digest: `sha256:38e42a791d68d593f82e1125f2bb94cd8f68212433e71d3e3da90f82d78eaf32`. |
|
|
| ## Temporal novelty and deduplication |
|
|
| `parliamentary` ends on `2019-12-31` and registered |
| `parlamint_pl` ends on `2022-12-31`. Every contributed |
| record is dated on or after `2023-01-01`, so its date range overlaps neither |
| source. Exact duplicate speech texts within the contribution are removed using |
| SHA-1 fingerprints; this is not a claim of global cross-domain near-deduplication. |
|

| Statistics are recomputed from the released Parquet file. The canonical schema |
| is `id, text, source, added, created, token_count, license, author`. |
|
|
| ## Privacy and limitations |
|
|
| The upstream release heuristically redacts email addresses, PESEL identifiers |
| and unambiguous Polish telephone numbers. Public-official names and speech |
| attribution remain. Regex redaction is not a guarantee of zero personal data. |
| Downstream users must review applicable privacy, third-party and source terms. |
