SOLI - Standards for Open Legal Information

Why This Project Matters

”Garbage in, garbage out.”

This old adage is especially true of AI systems, where the quality and consistency of input data directly impacts the quality and reliability of outputs.

Unfortunately, while many organizations want to use cleaner, more consistent data, the cost of creating or coordinating has historically been prohibitive. This is especially true for smaller organizations or individuals, who tend not to have the knowledge management capabilities of larger organizations.

SOLI addresses this challenge by creating a shared standard in the form of an open knowledge graph and supporting software resources. This standard is designed to be easy to use, easy to understand, and easy to contribute to, and the software resources are designed to maximize the impact and accessibility of the standard.

This knowledge graph provides a common framework for capturing, normalizing, and sharing legal data, as well as a ready-to-consume resource for developers of AI systems that use retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) techniques.
