Major Modules:

Filters

Things which convert one data format to another.

It includes different filter which convert german law text files to a pseudo semantic form, one step a time. Modules which do it are:

• corpus2db: Inserts content pf splitted law text file to database. Also stores the Law number of the law and other attributes. This module is now decaprecated. Use python lawSplitter.py in the project root folder.
• text2parse: Use law texts to get parse trees of each sentence. To use run: python run.py
• parse2predicate: Extracts predicates from parse trees of laws in the database. To insert to database, use: python run.py insert
• simpleLawFinder: Finds simple laws which has no sublaws and store them to text files. To use run: python run.py

Database

Schema related things

Has schema files which are used by different modules. It is used to enforce uniformity in the database.

Corpus

The raw law texts

Nothing to run here. Contains all the text files extracted for the source law text file.

Judge

The judging process

Contains all the scripts which are used for running the judging framework. Nothing to directly run here. Use runJudger in the project root to use the judger.
