Data Coverage
The development database covers South Korean legal professionals, courts, institutions, education, careers, appointments, and professional relationships. Exact cohorts, years, biographical fields, and known gaps require verification and privacy review.
Schema
The database is maintained in the PostgreSQL schema `sklaw`. Its public schema description will identify approved tables, keys, relationships, and derived views after model-to-database verification. A public diagram or SQL artifact will be added when it is ready for release.
Data Sources & Methods
Records are compiled from project-curated institutional, court, professional, and biographical sources. Release documentation will define Korean-name and identity resolution, concurrent and partial dates, source citations, privacy review, and corrections.
Current Structure
Configured Explore tools currently include Organization Roster. No enabled download resource is currently registered. These entries describe the development application surface; release readiness, table coverage, and public fields remain subject to the Database's vertical-slice review.
Planned Expansion
Planned work expands professional career and institutional coverage while developing cautious identity, chronology, privacy, and correction workflows for public-interest research.
