Seimas members of all terms since 1990

[namedgraph]

Problem

The LDH assistant reported that every current MP had served exactly one term. That came from our data, not the query. p2b.ad_seimo_nariai returns only the current term unless kadencijos_id is passed, so each person had a single #tenure-10. In reality 87 of the 148 current MPs sat in earlier terms.

Change

Members are now fetched per term with fetch-xml-each.sh over the term ids, the same way sessions are fetched.

• persons: 831 people who have held a seat since 1990, with about 21k memberships. Each seat gets its own #tenure-{term}-{yyyymmdd}; the start date separates a member who left and returned within a term, which happened in term 2. Each tenure carries its own ltlod:nominatedBy. The person-level ltlod:nominatedBy lists every party that ever nominated them. The mapping is restructured into independent UNION branches, because a single join would multiply term rows × positions × groups.
• nariai.xsl:
  • Contacts and the biography link come from the current term only, since older rows carry stale lrs.lt e-mails.
  • The district is parsed here. The older terms' Nr. 100 pseudo-district ("Vyriausioji rinkimų komisija" / "Daugiamandatėje") is treated as a list seat.
  • One duplicated position with two end dates (term 3) is deduped to the later end.
  • Hyphens and dashes fold into the slug separator. This merges the existing tevynes-sajunga-–-… duplicate party.
• constituencies: term-scoped constituencies/{term}-{nr}/ (771). District numbers are reused for different districts across elections. The generic by-election name "Vienmandatė" yields to the district's real name.
• parties: one label per slug (66), because the same party is spelled several ways across terms.
• Example queries and README: the current party now comes from the current tenure instead of ?person ltlod:nominatedBy.
• Shapes, URI-SCHEME.md, ONTOLOGY-NOTES.md, app/ns.ttl comments, CLAUDE.md verification counts: updated to match.

Verification

• Every file passes riot and SHACL.
• Link integrity: 0 dangling links (the only unmatched target is the Seimas organization, which is app/ scaffolding).
• Term counts per sitting member (140) are identical to the feed's kadencijų_skaičius. Top of the list: Zingeris 9; Butkevičius, Sysas, Ažubalis, Razma 8.
• Wikidata: 733 of 831 matched, and all 100 previous matches are unchanged.
• EXAMPLES.md is regenerated.

Notes

• persons.trig grows from 2.8 MB to 22 MB.
• URIs change: constituencies/{nr}/ and #tenure-{term} are replaced. Loading is append-only, so redeploying needs a clean reload: make down && rm -rf fuseki/end-user && make up && make load, plus make install for ns.ttl.
