Although society is overwhelmed with an overload of legal information, only legal experts can follow the latest legislation and case law produced by parliaments and courts on a national and on a European level. Accurate, target-orientated, and timely information is needed by EU institutions but also by member states, local administrations, businesses and citizens
Such, by policy makers required and/or produced data, is increasingly embedded in large amounts of textual data available on the Internet.
Due to the sheer volume of data, the manual extraction of the relevant data it contains is nearly impossible. Text mining and analysis tools become necessary to address the problem of volume, of currentness, and in order to provide the right information in the proper format.
