e.g. 55th Parliament of the United Kingdom (Q21084472) or 12th Riigikogu (Q967549)

Mandatory
instance of (P31) : Either:
inception (P571) (NB: when querying, some items still use start time (P580), though these should be migrated to P571)
dissolved, abolished or demolished date (P576) if ended (NB: when querying, some items use end time (P582), though these should be migrated)

Ideally

replaced by (P1366) (NB: when querying, some items still use followed by (P156), though these should be migrated to P1365)
number of seats (P1342)

The inception is the date that the term started. Only rarely will this be the election date - usually the inception, or start date, of the parliament is on a different day, and that's the date that should be used.

The number of seats (P1342) statement should be qualified with applies to part (P518) pointing at a legislative house if the term applies to multiple houses.

Example:

⟨ 62nd General Assembly of Nova Scotia (Q15298587)  View with Reasonator View with SQID ⟩ inception (P571) View with SQID ⟨ 2013-10-24 ⟩


Generalised base items (such as legislative term of the Riigikogu (Q21115902) should have:

Mandatory
