# Lexgraph dataset

The data plane of **[Lexgraph](https://github.com/SNTIQ-Team/lexgraph)** — German
legislation modelled as a signed, temporal, multi-authority patch history
(Bund / Bayern / EU / 16 Länder). Snapshot: **2026-07-06**.

| file | rows | what |
|---|---|---|
| `patches.jsonl` | 1,467 | PatchInstructions extracted from WP21 Gesetzentwürfe — `target_act`, `ref` (§/Absatz), `operation`, `status` (proposed→published), `old_text`/`new_text`, `valid_from` |
| `buzer_versions.jsonl` | 1,673 | federal amendment versions since 2006 (jurabk, in-force date, synopsis URL) |
| `buzer_synopse.jsonl` | 215 | per-§ **alte/neue Fassung** text for recent versions (2023+) of the practice corpus — `{jurabk, act_id, date, url, changes:[{para,old,new}]}`; the text is statutory (amtliches Werk, § 5 UrhG), buzer credited as retrieval channel, diffs recomputed locally |
| `bayern_recht_versions.jsonl` | 503 | Bavarian act amendment chains (BAYERN.RECHT, since 1985) |
| `eu_instruments.jsonl` | 47 | EU directives/regulations touching the practice corpus (CELEX, in-force, GEAS-core) |
| `eu_transpositions.jsonl` | 136 | German national implementing measures per directive (CELLAR MNE) |
| `bayern_landtag_bills.jsonl` | 123 | Bavarian Landtag WP19 bills with lifecycle + status |
| `laender_bills.jsonl` | 439 | Gesetzentwürfe across all 16 Landtage (Parlamentsspiegel) |
| `bgbl_events.jsonl`, `gvbl_events.jsonl` | — | promulgation events (federal BGBl, Bavarian GVBl/BayMBl) |
| `git.json` | 744 commits | the commit-graph of lawmaking (lanes EU/Bund/Bayern/Länder; merges = EU→DE transpositions) |
| `graph.json` | 720 nodes | the QFS arena export (nodes/edges/beliefs/ticks/worlds) |

Every source is live-verified (see the repo's `docs/SOURCES.md`). Reproduce with
`refresh.sh`. The `buzer_synopse` text is German statutory law (amtliches Werk, § 5 UrhG — no
copyright; also free at gesetze-im-internet.de / BGBl); buzer.de is the retrieval
channel, not the rights-holder. Governed by the SNTIQ licensing set; data under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.
