My own project is producing one network-edge per row, lobby-minister-
department-date-subject and a unique meeting id. I'm mostly using CSV as the 
wire format. Date-department-minister-subject-[list of lobbies participating]
would be OK too.

But don't worry about it. I'll probably also finish my own scraping exercise, 
although I can see my heart going out of it when I get on to the PDF ones.

Has anyone else noticed that the great bulk of this stuff isn't on 
data.gov.uk?
