Policy Commons collection results

The frozen v8.3 document master contains 270,974 records. The national analytical view remains the verified v7.10 file with 182,010 document-country rows. Newly collected records are preserved for review but are not yet added to national country statistics.

Release boundary. The v8.3 master adds 1,121 document candidates, including 745 publication-country hints. Those hints are not final issuer-country decisions. G20, OECD and EU country charts below use only the unchanged 182,010-row national analytical file. Neither the v8.3 master nor the v7.10 analytical file has a dedicated record-level module code, so module counts are not inferred from unrelated fields.

G20, OECD and EU country groups

These are overlapping groups of issuing countries, not three mutually exclusive partitions. A document-country row can contribute to more than one group total, but it is counted once within each group. The totals measure collection coverage, not population-adjusted national policy intensity.

National analytical rows by country group

G20: 19 countries; OECD: 38; EU: 27. Each bar uses the same 182,010-row national file.

Separate international and multinational issuer datasets

The document records below are preserved in two separate local Parquet datasets, outside the national analytical view. The international set contains 7,092 records: 3,999 from international organisations and 3,093 from EU institutions. The multinational-private set contains 2,101 records. Both sets retain the full source-master columns and issuer-set evidence.

Identified non-national issuer records

Distinct records within each issuer class; these classes do not overlap.

Issuer-scope safeguard. Exact issuer names supplement existing institutional labels; a generic mention of an organisation in a title or topic does not qualify. 22 records whose domestic or private issuer names collide with EU or UN terms are held out for review. The separate sets include 57 newly collected international and 48 newly collected private records; these remain marked for document-level review. The two sets have no record-ID overlap with the 182,010-row national analytical file. Licensed record-level data are stored locally, not embedded in this public page.

Local outputs: international_organisations_v8_3.parquet, multinational_private_v8_3.parquet, and issuer_name_collision_review_v8_3.csv. Reproducible selection code: issuer-set builder.
