Free access to legal information is imperative for evolving and supporting democracy. National and European initiatives such as RIS (Legal Information System of the Republic of Austria) and EUR-Lex form the first steps towards a sustainable and open environment for legal data. However, in the long run, community engagement and cooperation between legal fractions have to be established to foster rethinking and positively reshaping of jurisprudence in the 21st century. Therefore, the openlaws.eu project will provide a platform motivated by the requirements of the community through combination of open software, open data, and open innovation. This paper provides architectural and technical considerations and an outline of the initial architecture for the openlaws.eu platform.
