HI

This project documents the creation of Australia's largest open database of legal information. Built as a development tool, it provides accessible structured data on Australian law for researchers, developers, and… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. how I built the largest open database of Australian law launched in 2023; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

    I'm a pro bono attorney, and have been really interested in making the law easier to understand. I also see a ton of government resources online in varying degrees of usability. And for sure, there's no interoperability between them. This is an international legal dictionary, an experiment in improving the situation: glossaries are scraped and parses from official sources: https://github.com/public-law/open-gov-crawlers. The results are saved as datasets in well formed JSON with Dublin Core metadata: https://github.com/public-law/datasets I add Library…

    Hi HN! I'm currently a Master's student at USTC (University of Science and Technology of China). I've been diving deep into Data Engineering, especially in the context of Large Language Models (LLMs). The Problem: I found that learning resources for modern data engineering are often fragmented and scattered across hundreds of medium articles or disjointed tutorials. It's hard to piece everything together into a coherent system. The Solution: I decided to open-source my learning notes and build them into a structured book. My goal is to help developers fast-track their learning curve. Key…

    I made this because I think that if contracts were written in plain text files and managed more like software, from version control to IDEs, lawyers would work more quickly and intelligently for their clients, saving them money. But the entire practice of transactional law is stuck on Microsoft Word. My clients are mostly technology companies with an appetite for innovation. With their encouragement, I am moving my own legal practice away from formats like Microsoft Word and into plain text. Electronic signatures of plain text contracts is the starting point for that effort. The MVP is this…

    Hey HN, it’s been just over a year since we launched HelixDB (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43975423), a project a friend and I started in college. It’s an OLTP graph database built on object-storage, with native vector search and full-text search (FTS). Why graph, vector and FTS? Graph databases provide a natural cognitive model for data, vectors allow for a semantic understanding of the entities and relationships in the graph, and FTS provides more specific filtering. Many AI-driven applications attempt to combine all of these functionalities by stitching together…

    We are pleased to launch a public preview of an open source JSON-LD database which combines the simplicity of a document db with the analytical power of semantic graph. We hope it is approachable for most any developer while having the capabilities, when needed, for data interoperability, embedded cell-level security (ReBAC style), rich shape/schema restrictions, data provenance (time travel), and fact inferencing. Why did our team at Fluree build this? Data is increasingly critical for great decision making, AI, and more. The way we typically store and manage data, mainly as an…
