EU Case Law #8

Open step21 opened 2 years ago

step21 commented 2 years ago

Do you know of an API for EU case law? I know for example that there is http://api.epdb.eu but I think it has only legislation and preparatory documents. There are also various data interfaces by the EU (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/content/welcome/data-reuse.html), but they are anything but simple to use. So do you know of something comparable, or would you be interested in supporting this in openlegaldata?

Unfortunately not, EUR-LEX is imho still the "best" interface... but still far away of being state-of-the-art.

Would you be interested in integrating this data into openlegaldata? Based on info from the OP https://op.europa.eu/o/opportal-service/download-handler?identifier=50ecce27-857e-11e8-ac6a-01aa75ed71a1&format=pdf&language=en&productionSystem=cellar&part= the same data used by EUR-LEX is available via SPARQL, though there is only an R package. For my purposes I will probably prefer a python package. Would you be interested to collaborate on this, and does oldp support additional data sources or would this require bigger changes?
