Papers
Documents is the paper corpus. Agendas, minutes, packs and related files from a website we actually track. A payment spreadsheet is not a board pack, so it does not live here.
How it works
Public bodies publish PDFs. Many are image scans. We collect the file, keep the original URL, and turn the image into searchable text. A paper belongs to the body that published it.
That includes committee minutes, agendas, accounts, decision notices, planning papers, FOI responses on an official log, contract award PDFs, equality impact assessments, and registers of interests, when the site publishes them as files.
How to read the count
The homepage Papers table is that corpus by type. Unclassified means we have the file and have not yet labelled what kind of paper it is.
What this is not
A payment spreadsheet, a land title, a charity extract, or a court judgment is not a board pack. Those sit on their own pages so an invoice cannot be mistaken for minutes. Copyright stays with the body that published the file unless that body released it under the Open Government Licence.
