Abstract
This paper discusses an on-going project which aims to develop an XML architecture for linking Parliamentary and other legislative proceedings. The project has developed a schema which allows key components of the record to be linked semantically and a set of controlled vocabularies to support these linkages. The project will convert two collections of proceedings to the schema and develop a prototype web-based union catalogue for them.
