European Party Funding Observatory Wikibase

This wikibase is developed to be the future data system of the European Party Funding Observatory (EPFO).

This database is currently being developed and is therefore not the current reference of the EPFO. The current dataset of the EPFO can be found at https://epfo.eu/dataset.

Our objectives

The goal of the European Party Funding Observatory and of its dataset is to improve transparency on European parties and their funding.

The EPFO leverages public data from official EU sources to help answer citizens’ questions concerning European parties and their funding:

  • How much money do European parties receive?
  • How much taxpayers’ money?
  • Who else funds them?
  • From which countries do these funds originate?
  • How is all this evolving over time? And how is this money spent?

Progress report

The EPFO Wikibase will progressively be filled with data from the EPFO's existing dataset.

Here is a summary of where this import work stands:

  • ✅ Creation of Wikibase and essential pages
  • ✅ Creation of core relational properties (has parts, instance of, etc.)
  • ✅ Creation of wikibase-specific properties (lump sum, mep-based funding, etc.)
  • ✅ Creation of European parties as items
  • ✅ Creation of political groups of the European parliament as items
  • ✅ Creation of political ideologies as items
  • ✅ Creation of member states as items
  • ✅ Import of European party core data (name, ideology, APPF registration, etc.)
  • ✅ Import of member state core data (population, number of MEPs over time)
  • ❌ Import of electoral results with sources
  • ❌ Import of individual membership with sources
  • ❌ Import of MEP membership with sources
  • ❌ Import of public funding with sources
  • ❌ Import of donations and contributions with sources
  • ❌ Import of audit data with sources
  • ❌ Import of sources for core party information, where relevant
  • ❌ Import of European political foundations as items
  • ❌ Using wikibase as source for EPFO website
