Technical Details

The files in this repository are set out according to jurisdiction, with the top-level directories based on the ISO-3166-1 alpha 2 country codes. Each sub-directory represents a sub-jurisdiction or legal area of the country.

Sub-jurisdictions may include, for example ca/on/corp for Canada, Ontario, Corporate. Sub-jurisdictions may also be divided by ., so ca/on.corp is equivalent to ca/on/corp.

Each sub-directory contains a manifest.yaml that indicates the files that will be included.

Products

Every .yaml file can specify one or more models, which represent end-products of varying types. The precedents here generally include model types PackageView and SnippetView (each of which becomes a package or snippet) in Conductor, respectively — being sets of documents and sets of text that are re-used.
