Basic Documents — Policy Stage Fields
Some documents collected by Bilby reflect the developmental maturity of a
planned government policy, from early conception (designated Policy Stage 1),
to concrete implementation (Policy Stage 3). A document not relevant to any
policy is defined to have Policy Stage 0.
| Field Name | Type | Example/Possible Values | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
policy_stage_prediction | number | 0, 1, 2, or 3 | The policy stage prediction of the document. |
policy_stage_probability_0 | number | 0 ≤ value ≤ 1 | The probability of the document being in stage 0 (i.e., not relevant to any policy). |
policy_stage_probability_1 | number | 0 ≤ value ≤ 1 | The probability of the document being in stage 1 (i.e., informing, guiding or debating a policy). |
policy_stage_probability_2 | number | 0 ≤ value ≤ 1 | The probability of the document being in stage 2 (i.e., deciding for regulation). |
policy_stage_probability_3 | number | 0 ≤ value ≤ 1 | The probability of the document being in stage 3 (i.e., implementing a regulation). |
policy_stage_prediction
Definition: The developmental maturity of a planned government policy
discussed in the underlying document, from early conception (Stage 1) to
concrete implementation (Stage 3). A document not relevant to any policy is
given a Policy Stage label of 0.
Possible values: One of the class labels 0, 1, 2 or 3.
| Policy Classification | Description |
|---|---|
0 | Other |
1 | Informing, Guiding, or Debating |
2 | Deciding for Regulation |
3 | Implementation |
policy_stage_probability_0
Definition: The probability that the underlying document is not relevant to any policy.
Possible values: A float in the interval [0, 1] (i.e., between 0 and 1,
inclusive).
Note: The five values policy_stage_probability_x (where x ranges from
1 to 5) form a probability distribution, so sum to 1.0.
policy_stage_probability_1
Definition: The probability that the underlying document is relevant to
stage 1 in a policy development trajectory.
Possible values: A float in the interval [0, 1] (i.e., between 0 and 1,
inclusive).
Note: The five values policy_stage_probability_x (where x ranges from
1 to 5) form a probability distribution, so sum to 1.0.
policy_stage_probability_2
Definition: The probability that the underlying document is relevant to
stage 2 in a policy development trajectory.
Possible values: A float in the interval [0, 1] (i.e., between 0 and 1,
inclusive).
Note: The five values policy_stage_probability_x (where x ranges from
1 to 5) form a probability distribution, so sum to 1.0.
policy_stage_probability_3
Definition: The probability that the underlying document is relevant to
stage 3 in a policy development trajectory.
Possible values: A float in the interval [0, 1] (i.e., between 0 and 1,
inclusive).
Note: The five values policy_stage_probability_x (where x ranges from
1 to 5) form a probability distribution, so sum to 1.0.
