在这里，我介绍了一种新的方法来收集数据进行比较研究，并提出了一个新的数据基础设施的政党，选举和政府，议会和政府组成数据库（ParlGov）。这一数据基础设施结合了数据库、网页数据显示和软件脚本，以生成更动态的数据集并促进合作。到目前为止，它包括有关1000多个政党，约600次选举（国家和欧洲议会）和近1000个政府及其政党组成的信息。这些观察结果与有关政党立场的广泛信息相关联，并使其有可能获得用于政治学研究的各种数据集。为了初步了解这种新的数据基础设施的潜力，我利用这一来源绘制了欧盟（EU）的政治空间。
Here, I introduce a novel approach towards data collection for comparative research and present a new data infrastructure on parties, elections and governments, the Parliament and Government Composition Database (ParlGov). This data infrastructure combines a database, data presentation in webpages and software scripts in order to generate more dynamic datasets and to facilitate cooperation. So far, it includes information about more than 1000 parties, around 600 elections (national and European Parliament) and almost 1000 governments with their party composition. These observations are linked to a wide set of information about party positions and make it possible to derive various datasets for studies in political science. To provide a first glance into the potential of this new data infrastructure, I map the political space of the European Union (EU) by drawing on this source.
