Lexgraph
How to read Lexgraph
Each law is a repository: its page combines the current consolidated text with the history Lexgraph can verify.
A commit is a dated, attributed change linked to its source document whenever available.
HEAD is the latest consolidated source snapshot. Incomplete historical coverage is labelled separately.
An open branch is a pending bill, not current law: it may be adopted, rewritten, rejected or lapse.
A merge link records implementation, direct applicability or another legally defined EU/DE relationship; it never claims blanket supervision.
Case law is the runtime layer: it shows how courts cite, interpret or apply norms, limited to what the source evidence supports.
The tabs: Wiki is the index and live feed, Synopse is the word-level diff, Laws as Git is the commit history, Hierarchy shows competence-aware layers, Case law links decisions to norms, and Graph explores documented relationships.
