The Dutch version of the Public Records Request is named the ‘Wet Openbaarheid van Bestuur’ (Wob) , which provides the public with the right to request access to records from any governmental institution. The government has the obligation to provide information about policy and the execution of policy; however individuals who wish to obtain more detailed information, can request that a governmental body publicly disclose certain information. Certain steps that require large amounts of time continue to exists when processing such a request. One of these tasks is described in this thesis, namely the redaction of personal opinions within internal deliberations. The goal of this thesis was to investigate the possibility of automatically recognising personal opinions within internal deliberations in order to speed up the process of handling a Wob-request.
