FEDLEXplorer

The purpose of this project is to demonstrate how Swiss federal legislation data can be used in third-party products through a SPARQL endpoint.

We are developing the frontend and backend in the respective subfolders, where you will find implementation and contribution notes.

In the data folder you can find our SPARQL queries and sample outputs.

API doc

Our small (please do not hammer) hackathon API is deployed here for testing:

Sample

/sample (demo)

• Just gets a data sample for quick testing.

Topics

/topics (demo)

• Gets the list of current legal topics. Output example can be found in frontend/test/topics.

Query

/query?q=<number>&from=<date>&until=<date> (demo)

• Runs a search query on law changes published in FEDLEX.
• The q query is a list of topics, with IDs from the Topics above, separated by the pipe (|) character.
• from and until are dates in the format YYYY-MM-DD

Output example can be found in frontend/test/data.

Terms

/term?q=<text> (demo)

• Gets the top result from a TERMDAT search. Tap on a word or highlight a phrase in the app and get a little definition pop-up.
