Tools

• compare_versions

  What changed in this article between two texts of the same instrument? Serves the word-level comparison the build published: a pair is servable if and only if a diff artefact exists for it — the PSR and PSD3 proposal↔compromise pairs and nothing else. Every other pair, including every consolidated instrument's pinned as-adopted text, is refused with the URL where that text is published; this service never recomputes a comparison. Pairs match in either direction, and a reversed request is the same artefact with the ops inverted.

  shallow
• get_defined_term

  What does this term mean, where, and since when? Every definition verbatim and resolved, clustered by what the text actually says, with the chronological and concurrent views and word-level comparisons between them. Resolution follows the CITED version, never legislative succession: a definition citing a repealed act resolves to that act and is labelled repealed, not silently replaced by its successor's wording. A term the corpus does not define is refused with suggestions — nothing is substituted. references_in gives the reverse edges: which definitions lean on this one.

  shallow
• get_instrument

  What is this instrument? Metadata, dates, lifecycle and application events, and curated relationships. No article index — use list_provisions. Pass on_date for the multi-axis applicability record on that date.

  shallow
• get_provision

  What does this provision say? Returns the operative text of an article, annex or recital as markdown, with its cite anchor, provenance and text-state disclosure. Large provisions paginate by structural block — never truncated silently. version_id is optional: the service serves one text per instrument, and a pinned version id is refused with the URL where it is published.

  shallow
• list_instruments

  What is in the corpus? Paginated, filterable by status, category, core/supplementary, and by whether an instrument was in force on a given date.

  shallow
• list_provisions

  What provisions does an instrument contain? Metadata only: each item carries the exact locator get_provision accepts. Articles and annexes by default; pass kind=recital for recitals.

  shallow
• list_version_changes

  What changed across the whole instrument between its two published texts? Every aligned article with its classification, filterable by status, materiality and article range. The editorial materiality markers travel on every response whatever the filters, because they exist precisely where the mechanical classification does not show what matters — a re-scoped defined term changes articles whose text did not change at all. Classifications are mechanical, and the response says on what basis.

  shallow
• resolve_citation

  What does this citation refer to? Ranked candidates with ambiguity flagged and confidence stated: exact (instrument certain, provision found), strong (instrument certain, provision not verified or not named) or ambiguous (more than one reading). A citation of an instrument this corpus does not hold is named, with its CELEX and ELI, rather than guessed at.

  shallow
• search_defined_terms

  Which instruments define this term, and do they agree? A listing: term, definers and divergence flags, with no definition text. Matching is over the term itself, never the definition body. Divergence is judged on the RESOLVED text as well as the verbatim one, because several instruments defining a term by pointing at the same root agree, however differently their pointers read. Pass only_divergent to find where the corpus does not agree with itself.

  shallow
• search_legislation

  Where does the corpus discuss X? Full-text search across articles, annexes and recitals, ranked in that order of authority. Every hit carries the exact locator get_provision accepts, its cite anchor, the matched passage and why it matched. A citation-shaped query resolves through the citation grammar first; instrument acronyms become ranking hints; initialisms of the corpus's defined terms are expanded. Absence of a result is not evidence that no relevant law exists.
