| """Build the Hugging Face package in huggingface/hrc-voting/ from the repo's own outputs. | |
| python scripts/prepare_hf_dataset.py | |
| Five configs, because the source is relational and flattening it would either explode | |
| the row count or throw away the resolution-level metadata: | |
| resolutions one row per catalogued resolution (data/csv/resolutions.csv) | |
| votes one row per (resolution, country) roll-call (data/csv/votes_long.csv) | |
| clauses one row per clause of a harvested text (dashboard/texts/) | |
| countries dimension table, 154 states (dashboard/data.js) | |
| subjects dimension table, OHCHR's controlled vocab (dashboard/data.js) | |
| The two dimension tables exist so that caveats which are otherwise only prose become | |
| machine-readable: which states no longer exist, which ISO code spans a change of | |
| representation rather than of state, and which subject tags name a country situation | |
| rather than a theme. | |
| Everything here is derived from files already committed to this repository, so the | |
| package can be rebuilt from a clean checkout without re-harvesting. | |
| Derived columns exist mainly to stop downstream users repeating mistakes this project | |
| already made and fixed (see notes/AUDIT-2026-07.md): | |
| prevailing_side / adopted Under the chamber's own rules an abstention is not a vote | |
| cast, so the outcome turns on Yes vs No alone. Taking | |
| max(Yes, No, Abstain) instead — the obvious-looking move — | |
| scores the winning Yes bloc as defeated on 53 adopted | |
| resolutions in this corpus. | |
| rollcall_reconciles ~9% of recorded votes have a per-country roll-call whose | |
| tally does not match the official totals. The flag lets a | |
| user filter them rather than discover the discrepancy | |
| halfway through an analysis. | |
| clause_type Articles of annexed declarations and protocols are marked | |
| `annex`, not `operative`. They are treaty-style text, not | |
| commitments of the organ, and conflating them shifts every | |
| operative-verb statistic. | |
