The article describes the long-term editorial project Fraktionen im Deutschen Bundestag. 1949–2005 , an extensive collection of meeting minutes and session protocols from the parliamentary groups of the German Bundestag, which has been gradually published since 1993 in print, online, and as TEI-XML datasets in a public GitHub repository. The article addresses the significance of protocols as key sources for historical research, particularly for examining administrative structures and political decision-making processes, and emphasizes the variety of protocol types (minutes, session records, and verbatim reports), which provide insights into decision-making processes and power dynamics. The article outlines the development, current status, and future challenges of the Fraktionsprotokolle.de project, highlighting the balance between digital and print publication as well as the handling of extensive research data, including the planned ParlaBio biographical database. In an extensive outlook, the article explores experiences with the use of AI models in the editorial process, discussing both opportunities and technical as well as data protection-related challenges. |
