Make gsetz.li your new homepage for Swiss legal topics! Punching out with a simple, effective, ready-made solution to the problem of slow, confusing searches of individual cantonal websites - or unquestioning submission to the whims of a sprawling search engine. I can see a few technical opportunities in the areas of usability and security that we can build on here. Good job #openlegallab team

I've just posted a notice on the GitHub repo, by next month will wrap up my activities on ProxeusApp. Today's experience at #OpenLegalLab has showed clearly both the value and challenges in our open source project. If you're interested and would like to chat about it, the DMs are open!

Good morning #Biel #Switzerland ☀️ Glorious view and a crispy air up in Magglingen/Mauclin this morning.

We were up late and are working across many timezones to get a project together. The team at 🍁 #QueensU has been very helpful, and we hope to give them good feedback and a boost in their work.

There will be a short window of opportunity to speak to them again in ~5 hours before the #OpenLegalLab presentations - we aim to have production-ready data, a Pull Request with lots of feedback, and our compelling use cases prepared.

The #OpenLegalLab teams have requirements gathered, finding many data sources and having a hard time to decide where to start. Everyone is working with LLMs and the prompt-fu is strong here 🤗 #OLL24 More at challenges.openlegallab.ch/dri

@jdevoo thanks for sharing! It really means a lot to me to read up on inspiring open legal techniques in experimental HTML mode, thinking ahead to the next #OpenLegalLab and all the writing and coding that needs to be done in '24

Data-Showcase und One-Stop-Shop für Rechtsdaten! Frisch vom Hackathon #openlegallab unser Vorschlag zu Diskussion scigate.online, running prototype und Versuchsballon🎈Künstliche Intelligenz braucht Daten🤖, natürliche Intelligenz auch🧠 Wäre es da nicht schön, 1️⃣Schaufenster, 1️⃣Tankstelle für (Rechts-)Daten zu haben?
Initiativen gibt es wie Sand am Meer 🏖 Passend zu den wärmeren Tagen nun scigate als running prototype und unser Vorschlag zur Diskussion. Same same but different @OpendataCH

Auf dem Bild ist eine Illustration des Aufbaus der im Beitrag vorgestellten Plattform scigate abgebildet. Im Zentrum steht der Kern von scigate, der der Suche, Präsentation und dem Export von Daten dient. An scigate sind über Proxies verschiedenste Datenquellen angeschlossen, was auf der oberen Bildhälfte dargestellt wird. In der unteren Bildhälfte ist die API visualisiert, mit der über scigate auf die Daten zugegriffen werden kann.
