#4 what is a node?
In this video, we move beyond the high-level overview and focus on a fundamental building block: the node. We break down its three key characteristics—what it means for a node to be an atomic entity, how it's identifiable in isolation, and the power of its unique attributes. You'll learn: • How the atomic nature of nodes enables efficient legal reasoning and retrieval. • Why "hierarchy agnostic" nodes are crucial for building a flexible semantic web for Indian law. • The difference between semantically useless macro-relations and rich, precise micro-relations between legal provisions. • How unique attributes allow us to trace the historical trajectory of laws without creating unnecessary noise. This is essential viewing for anyone interested in the infrastructure of legal technology, computational law, and how AI can be trained to understand legal semantics with greater precision. What's Next: In the following video, we'll examine "tokens" and how they differ from nodes. #LegalAI #ComputationalLaw #LegalTech #SemanticWeb #IndianLaw #LawAndTechnology #AIInfrastructure #LegalData #Staram #LegalSemantics #RDF #KnowledgeGraphs #LegalInnovation
