Meetings Held

Note: Our Committee Oversight Textual Structures are in beta testing - for early access, please contact support. The online documentation is in active development, and parts may be unavailable/incomplete.

The Meetings Held textual structure captures details of the meetings that the boards and committees, including details of the nature and type of the meetings, and any noted time period that the sentence relates to.

RELATES_TO	COMMITTEE, BOARD	Who is described as hosting the meetings.
MEETING_DETAILS	MEETING	Includes details of the meeting specified described in the text, including the nature of the meeting (e.g., in-person, telephone).
QUANTITY	INTEGER	Quantities written as words (e.g., 'two') are standardized to integers (e.g., '2'). If however an imprecise quantity is included, such as 'several', then it is represented as a string.

Examples

{
  "ORIGINAL": "The Audit Committee held five in-person meetings in 2018",
  "RELATES_TO": {
    "COMMITTEES": ["AUDIT"]
  },
  "MEETING_DETAILS": {
    "MEETING_NATURE": "IN_PERSON"
  },
  "QUANTITY": 5,
  "TIME_PERIOD": {"YEAR": "2018"}
}

Examples: Multiple Different Meeting Types

Each instance of the textual structure is intended to capture a single type of meeting; if more than one meeting type (e.g., in-person or telephone) are described in the same sentence, these will be represented separately as illustrated below.

{
  "ORIGINAL": "The Audit Committee held five in-person meetings in 2018 and one telephone meeting",
  "MEETINGS_HELD": [
    {
      "RELATES_TO": {
        "COMMITTEES": ["AUDIT"]
      },
      "MEETING_DETAILS": {
        "MEETING_NATURE": "IN_PERSON"
      },
      "QUANTITY": 5,
      "TIME_PERIOD": {"YEAR": "2018"}
    },
    {
      "RELATES_TO": {
        "COMMITTEES": ["AUDIT"]
      },
      "MEETING_DETAILS": {
        "MEETING_NATURE": "TELEPHONE"
      },
      "QUANTITY": 1,
      "TIME_PERIOD": {"YEAR": "2018"}
    }
  ]
}

Examples: Multiple Different Committees

In a similar manner to how different meeting types are handled above, should the meetings of several different committees be described in the same sentence, these meetings will be listed separately.

{
  "ORIGINAL": "The Audit Committee held five meetings in 2018 and the Finance Committee held six.",
  "MEETINGS_HELD": [
    {
      "RELATES_TO": {
        "COMMITTEES": ["AUDIT"]
      },
      "QUANTITY": 5,
      "TIME_PERIOD": {"YEAR": "2018"}
    },
    {
      "RELATES_TO": {
        "COMMITTEES": ["FINANCE"]
      },
      "QUANTITY": 6,
      "TIME_PERIOD": {"YEAR": "2018"}
    }
  ]
}
