| Description |
The Senate is pretty good about publishing notices of committee meetings. In addition to a webpage with meeting notices on
it, it publishes an XML page with lots of good features, like distinct codes for each committee. (If only we knew whose codes
they were, and if only they could be used consistently throughout legislative data ...) If a particular bill is under consideration
in a Senate committee meeting, this is a way for the public to learn about
it. This is authoritative, it's available, it's machine-discoverable, and it's got some machine-readable features.
That means any website, researcher, or reporter can quickly use these data to generate more- and more useful- information
about Congress.
