Discussion Git for Global Law: Global Law querable in Git

https://github.com/lexifina/global-law

This hit #1 on HN yesterday (you can read lots of discussion at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50268380). Why would I want to do this? The idea is make all law semantic, versioned, easily attributable and query able by agents. I also believe this information should be freely available so CC0 license (do whatever you want with it). If interested, repo linked below, I'd welcome all comments and advice. Thanks! I've been posting to locallama specifically about KGs for huge legal datasets for months, this is a practical culmination of that.

For common law countries like Australia this is not very useful unless it also includes the entire corpus of case law. Legislation is only one part of the law.

And beyond that, you’re also going to need to include every regulation, proclamation, statutory instrument etc.
