  "description": "<p>This paper analyses the protocols of the Parliament of Finland 1907&ndash;2000. They have been digitised and published as open data by the&nbsp; Finnish Parliament in 20181. In the analysis we use a novel tool, a semantic tagger for Finnish - FiST. We describe the tagger generally and show results of seman-tic analysis both on the whole of the parliamentary corpus and on a small subset of data where everyman&rsquo;s rights (a widely used right of public access to nature) have been the main topic of parliamentary discussions. Our analysis contributes to the understanding of the development of this &ldquo;tradition&rdquo; of public access rights, and is also the first study utilizing the Finnish semantic tagger as a tool for content analysis in digital humanities research. Keyword search shows first that that the discussion of everyman&rsquo;s rights has had three different peak peri-ods in the Finnish Parliament: 1946, 1973, and 1992. Secondly, the contents of the discussions have different nature for all the periods, which could be clearly detected with FiST and keyness analysis.</p>",
