Data path
A service runs around the clock: it reconciles the official catalogues, fetches new documents, checks them and adopts only what passes every check.
Reconcile official catalogues daily, archive every original unchanged.
Check format, required fields and metadata. Contradictions go to review.
Every version is kept, retrieval and entry into force kept apart.
Statute, provision, court and decision as objects with sourced links.
Research, learning app and data access read the same verified record.
One record
Wording, source, archived original and the state of the time check, visible to every application that uses the record.
§ 823 Abs. 1 BGBLiability in damages
Wer vorsätzlich oder fahrlässig das Leben, den Körper, die Gesundheit, die Freiheit, das Eigentum oder ein sonstiges Recht eines anderen widerrechtlich verletzt, ist dem anderen zum Ersatz des daraus entstehenden Schadens verpflichtet.How we count
Individual sections and articles with their own wording. One statute consists of many provisions.
Official source files of federal law. A small share is re-checked after a failed fetch.
Published federal court decisions with court, date, docket and ECLI from the original.
Machine-detected citations between documents. A citation is not yet a legal assessment.
Honest
A data supplier is only as good as its honesty about gaps.
Entry into force and repeal of historical versions are added from the sources. Until then we do not answer questions about earlier law.
In progressLinks between documents are captured. Verified links between objects (provision cites provision, decision cites decision) follow.
In progressTFEU, the Charter and the German state sources are reviewed and queued, but not yet on record.
PlannedAustria, Switzerland, the US, Canada, England and Wales and Australia follow with their own sources and separate records.
PlannedFor companies, publishers, research and public bodies: structured access to the record, with origin and version for every item.
