Abstract This paper describes preliminary research on automatically determining relevant context to display to a user of a legislative portal given the article they are retrieving, purely based on ‘objective’ criteria inferred from the network of sources of law. Two prototypes doing this, visualizing the result in different ways, are presented, together with a small formative evaluation by several legal expert users. Results are promising, but there is room for improvement.
