This dataset contains information about multi-media content published by the European Parliament at http://audiovisual.europarl.europa.eu/. Media assets of type video, audio and image are contained. All assests are annotated with primary metadata (e.g., length, resolution, size, etc.), as well as topic metadata. Where topics are people, those are represented as complex resources in their own right, with names, roles in organisations, etc. Organisations are located in countries according to the Kasabi country dataset.

The EU Parliament logo is taken from Wikipedia.

How to Attribute This Dataset

Kasabi provides a quick and easy way to attribute a dataset from any webpage. We think attribution is an important community norm.

To directly embed an attribution message in a webpage, add a script tag that invokes our Attribution API as follows

<script
     type="text/javascript"
     src="http://api.kasabi.com/dataset/latc-eu-media/attribution">
</script>
