📝 Abstract
This paper links all individuals who spoke in the German Bundestag between 1949 and 2021 to Wikidata, creating a longitudinal dataset that connects parliamentary speech transcripts with structured biographical metadata. We evaluate the coverage, composition, and potential biases of the retrieved properties and statements, with particular attention to gender, professional background, historical legacies, and transnational dimensions such as place of birth, languages, and foreign awards. The results demonstrate both the analytical potential of combining GermaParl with Wikidata and the importance of critically assessing uneven metadata coverage in open knowledge graphs.
