The reader’s problem
A reference to another law is useful only if a reader can identify what it points to.
What changed
The legal graph work assembled relationships among texts, individual articles, rulings and Gazette issues. It distinguished citations from amendments instead of treating every reference as the same kind of link.
Using the feature
Follow a linked reference from a record, or inspect the graph and reference tables in the dataset. These routes help a researcher move from a provision to related material without repeatedly rebuilding the same citation map by hand. Source information records how a relationship was obtained.
Reading the evidence
Some links are research leads. A general repeal that might affect a text is not a finding that the text was repealed. The distinction matters when reading a graph: a connection helps locate material, but the underlying words and their legal effect still need to be checked.
