Known gaps
Official legislation.gov.uk only (OGL v3.0): primary ukpga/ukla/ukcm/asp/nia/anaw/asc/mwa and secondary uksi/wsi/ssi/nisr/nisi/ukci/ukmo. CLML data.xml with PDF fallback for print-only stubs. Repealed titles kept. Not BAILII/Westlaw/Lexis. Not legal advice.
Honest coverage notes for this snapshot:
- SI born-digital complete for practical purposes (uksi/wsi/ssi/nisr etc. year ≥2000 CLML bodies present; residual post-2000 gaps are image-only
/pdfs/). - Pre-2000 OCR backlog: ~36k catalog residuals are print/image PDFs where
pdftotextyields no text (mostly ukla + uksi before 1990). Separate OCR pilot may fill these later; not included as text here. - ukla print stubs: vast majority of Local Acts are NumberOfProvisions=0 stubs / scan PDFs only.
- Catalog-backed incomplete vs full legislation.gov.uk Atom lists; the base pack is the usable-text snapshot (156,830 instruments).
- Delta 1 (2026-10-08): 110 instruments published on the Atom feeds of ukpga/uksi/asp/asc/anaw/nia/ssi/wsi/nisr after the 2026-09-03 catalogs (CLML data.xml only, robots.txt-guarded, no PDF/OCR/archive fallback; feed dates 2026-09-03..2026-10-08), plus 20 rows fetched live on 2026-09-09 after the base pack was cut (18 ukci HTML, 1 nia and 1 uksi CLML). Local Acts (ukla) are not added here. OCR-derived rows and image-only residuals are not included.
- Re-shard (2026-10-08):
data/laws.parquetanddata/articles.parquetare replaced by shards (data/laws-00001.parquet, data/laws-00002.parquet, data/articles-00001.parquet, data/articles-00002.parquet), each ≤ 300 MB. The shards are a row-for-row split of those two files (same row groups, same ids, nothing added or dropped). Delta 1 stays indata/laws-delta-00001.parquetanddata/articles-delta-00001.parquet. Thelaws/articlesconfigs read the shards plus the delta files. Totals unchanged: 156,960 laws, 1,670,875 articles.
