Primary Data. The starting point of our analysis were the eight legal documents (see Annex, Table 11). These eight CAMs are representative text documents or text fragments of the five CAMs described above. CAM’s are modular, formal, legal documents and as such can be considered as noisy text documents in nature. Additionally, those documents are very explicit and repetitive and therefore partially redundant. Hence, we performed a quick perusal to prepare our raw data by filtering out irrelevant parts or parts that could interfere with our main analysis. This has the purpose of anonymising the documents and making the documents easily readable for the coders. Through this initial cleaning process, we improved our analysis significantly.
