Version 4 is also the last business as usual update of WhoGov.
We are working towards a more automated workflow using coding agents. This will allow us to release updates more frequently and move away from the yearly format. Furthermore, we are adding Wikidata ID, more portfolios, and more.
We are happy to release Version 4 of WhoGov, which expands WhoGov to 2025. It now contains data on cabinet members from 1966-2025.
The update is supported by UiO:Democracy and can be downloaded through GETGOV's page or through Nuffield College: politicscentre.nuffield.ox.ac.uk/whogov-datas....
