COMPONENTS / MODULAR LEGAL INFRASTRUCTURE

One architecture. Use only what you need.

OpenLegalCore is designed as a coherent legal system—and as a set of components that remain useful on their own. Start with one capability, or assemble a scoped, partner-controlled deployment.

  1. 01 / STANDALONE

    Start with one component.

    Run a public pipeline or OCR workflow independently, use a maintained legal-data foundation through a partnership, or evaluate a private component inside an existing product.

  2. 02 / ASSEMBLED SYSTEM

    Assemble a working system now.

    Approved partners can combine the Engine, maintained legal data and the verified client path within an agreed deployment scope, configuration and support model.

  3. 03 / FIRST-PARTY WORKSPACE

    Planned—not required.

    Open WebUI remains the verified reference conversational client. Word Connector is a public source-only beta for bounded legal-source research inside Word; OLC Legal Workspace is the register’s only planned component.

SYSTEM ROLE GROUPS

OLC Engine

General-purpose legal cognition engine · system core

OPEN COMPONENT RECORD

A working private legal-retrieval and source-bound answer foundation for the current Slovenian reference jurisdiction, being developed as OpenLegalCore's general-purpose legal cognition engine and system core.

Current boundaryVersion 0.0.7 supports bounded legal-source planning, maintained Slovenian legislation and case-law paths, admissible source selection, cited text or structured output, source validation and explicit completion states through a private OpenAI-compatible text interface. Approved organisations can use the current Engine in a scoped evaluation, integration or pilot after its purpose, deployment boundary, data access, support and terms are agreed through an individual partnership. This is not public source access or an anonymous service. Persistent Case Memory, production Document Intelligence, general complex-matter analysis, strategy, specialised drafting, deadline and jurisdiction tools, extended legal-source families, durable Analyst findings and controlled whole-file review are not part of this version.
