Known gaps
- Instrument BWBR0015091 is missing from this snapshot. Rechecked 2026-10-03 against the KOOP repository:
/bwb/BWBR0015091/manifest.xmlredirects to the repository root and/bwb/BWBR0015091/currentItemreturns HTTP 404, so it could not be added. - BWBR0052939: its toestand XML (
2026-08-04_0) answered with a self-redirect (HTTP 301 to the same URL) on 2026-10-03, so its original single unsplit article row is kept unchanged.
Contents
data/laws.parquet— one row per in-force national instrument.data/articles.parquet— article/annex/section rows split from the official KOOP toestand XML of the same expression.scrapers/collect_bwb.py— research collector used to build this snapshot.scrapers/nl_collect.py— fetcher for the per-law toestand XML (KOOP repository only, polite, resume-safe).scrapers/nl_split.py,scrapers/nl_resplit.py— XML to article-row splitter (no network).
Article extraction (2026-10-03)
data/articles.parquet replaces the one-row-per-law <id>:<date> rows with 272,214 rows split from the official
KOOP BWB toestand XML (https://repository.officiele-overheidspublicaties.nl/bwb/<id>/<date>_<n>/xml/...). That is the
same expression the laws row points to (valid on 2026-09-02); the KOOP repository publishes it under CC0-1.0.
article: each top-level<artikel>/<enig-artikel>; id<law_id>-art-<nr>(-art-enig); leden rendered as1. ....annex: each<bijlage>; id<law_id>-bijlage-<nr|n>. Image-only annexes carry[illustratie: <file>].section:<divisie>blocks of circulaires and beleidsregels, plus any operative text not inside an artikel or bijlage (e.g. plainregeling-tekstbodies); id<law_id>-div-<n>.- Repeated ids get

metadata_json. Aanhef, ondertekening and nota van toelichting are not split out; they stay inlaws.text. laws.parquetis unchanged exceptarticle_count, which now equals the number of article rows per law.
