I remember from my time on the project that the "official" English translations for eerste kamer / tweede kamer are house of commons / senate. Did you get this format from somewhere?

This description comes from the actual data (debate title).

I just got the comment from the People & Parliament team that APA / MLA aren't terribly Humanities-friendly citation formats. They suggested a format that I think is Chicago (full names, date last). This may actually also be a good point to consider for other corpora. @lukavdplas |

The way I learned it is that APA is common for linguistics, MLA for literature and Chicago for history and social sciences. My experience with this is quite limited, but my understanding of it is the following: From my impression of it, MLA is optimised for citing non-academic texts in different media, which is why it's mainly used in literature and cultural analysis. I dislike MLA because it is, imo, good for nothing but cultural analysis, but I think its inclusion is justified and I don't think it's accurate to call it not Humanities-friendly. APA is optimised for citing academic journals and mainly used in linguistics (and psychology, I would assume), which admittedly is a field not often considered part of the humanities (or only marginally so). However, our own work is defined by the UU categorising it that way. I agree Chicago would be a good addition; I left this out in the existing documentation because it would require more of a time investment to familiarise myself with the format. |

Thanks for your explanation. I would indeed agree that we shouldn't leave out APA / MLA, because many users of I-Analyzers will be interested in this. I will add Chicago to the list of options in this branch, so then we can hopefully also add it to later |
This branch adds a
netherlands.mdcitation page. Related to #726, but with the solution proposed in #1322.
