Hi Laura,
João Alexandre Peschanski, who is a professor at the University of Sao
Paulo, Brazil has been doing that for some time now.
He's been experimenting with Wikidata, as Daniel suggested. He's CCed to
this email.
Best,
Shani.

Hi Laura,
have you looked into Wikidata?
There are quite a few examples like

or
https://www.mysociety.org/2018/10/16/wikidata_and_congress/

that go into your direction.
