- | Collecting a large number of cases will however make it even more difficult to find the right cases - there is a definite danger that many cases will simply end up being massive walls of text and lists. | + | Collecting a large number of cases will however make it even more difficult to find the right cases - there is a definite danger that many cases will simply end up being massive walls of text and lists. |
- | These visualisations we found to be useful: | + | - **Visualise one case:** Cases are often long (10-30 pages or even more) and it is time consuming to identify rules and reasonings of the court. Cases can be annotaded with Icons and the reasoning can be displayed in a structured manner (Case matrix) (Christian and Franziska are preparing an example case preparation for that) This is listed as a seperate project [[project: |
- | + | - **Visualise a list of cases:** Hitlists and other lists of cases can be annotated with easily accessible information by icons indicating case outcome, type of case, type of reasoning, area/region of the court etc. | |
- | | + | - **Visualise the connection between cases:** Cases often cite each other. This can be displayed in graphs that also convey further information (metadata).\\ {{:project:casegraph.png?200}} |
- | + | - **Geographic visualisation of a large number of cases:** When a search retrieves a large number of cases (1000 or more) it is impossible to even glimpse over this list of cases. Facets help there but are not easily comprehensible because they just consist out of text and many numbers. A graphical visualisation helps, | |
