openlaws.eu is an EU project co-funded by the European Commission (DG Justice) with the aim to add a social layer on top of institutional legal databases that are available as open data. This social lawyer will foster cooperation between stakeholders in the legal area – not only on a national level, but also on a European level. The paper outlines the relations between the different stakeholder groups, that include legal experts as well as citizens and businesses. This framework will serve as a basis for the upcoming openlaws web platform, which will be released in March 2015 in its beta version.
