 In order to illustrate the potential of such a system, the components of which are not all available or open today, our team has worked on a number of prototype sub-projects: In order to illustrate the potential of such a system, the components of which are not all available or open today, our team has worked on a number of prototype sub-projects:
  
-==== Crawler ==== +  - **Online case history crawler**: based on data of the [[http://www.bger.ch/|Swiss Federal Supreme Court]], Alexander has built a custom search engine which can be accessed here: [[http://yacy.free-it-foundation.org:8090/|Demo server]]. For further information see: [[project:legal:swiss_supremecourt|Swiss Supreme Court]] 
- +  - **Linked Data**: cases should be linked on the Semantic Web. Reto and Jörn have built a translation into linked data (RDF). Tools based on linked data can immediately be used to search and interact with information. Check out the [[http://beta.fusepool.com:8080/firstswim|Demo server]] and [[http://beta.fusepool.com:8080/sparql/form|SPARQL query API]] for advanced users.

-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. Hence, there is an obvious need for visualisation.  +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. The following types of visualization should prove to be useful:

-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:case_law_ld|Case Law Linked Data]]   - **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.

   - **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}}   - **Visualise the connection between cases:** Cases often cite each other.

-  - **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, but it can be much more than that. By tracking cases over time it can actually be an analysis tool.
