Integration includes:
* Copied source files to raw/uk/{employment,ip,tax}/
* Added rows to manifests/download_manifest.csv with SHA-256 hashes
* Updated logs/download_log.csv with ingestion timestamps
* Ingested documents into Chroma vector database (5 docs -> 28 vectors)

# if-legal-corpus # if-legal-corpus
Self-hosted legal document corpus for contract analysis and freelancer rights research. Contains international legislation, case law, and industry standards indexed in ChromaDB for semantic search.
## Quick Start
### Setup
```bash
# Clone repository (already done)
cd /home/setup/if-legal-corpus
# Create virtual environment
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
### Running Downloads
To download and process documents from the inventory:
```bash
# Download all documents from LEGAL_CORPUS_IMPORT_LIST.md
python scripts/download_all.py
# This will:
# 1. Read LEGAL_CORPUS_IMPORT_LIST.md
# 2. Download each document to raw/ subdirectories
# 3. Log downloads to logs/download_log.csv
# 4. Record manifest entries in manifests/download_manifest.csv
```
### Running Chroma Ingestion
To index downloaded documents into ChromaDB for semantic search:
```bash
# Ingest documents into Chroma vector database
python scripts/ingest_chromadb.py \
--manifest manifests/download_manifest.csv \
--db-dir indexes/chromadb
# This will:
# 1. Read all documents with status=success from manifest
# 2. Extract text (supports .md, .pdf, .html, .json, .xml)
# 3. Chunk text (1500 chars per chunk, 200 char overlap)
# 4. Generate embeddings (using Chroma's default embedding)
# 5. Store vectors with metadata in indexes/chromadb/
```

### Manifest & Logs (`manifests/` and `logs/`)
- **manifests/download_manifest.csv** - Complete inventory with download status, file sizes, and SHA-256 hashes
- **logs/download_log.csv** - Timestamped download operations
### Vector Database (`indexes/chromadb/`)
- **Chroma persistent storage** - 5,290 vectors from all ingested documents
- Collection name: `if_legal_corpus`
- Metadata per vector: `inventory_path`, `document_name`, `local_path`, `sha256`
## UK P0 Documents - Integration Complete

- PDF (`.pdf`)
- HTML (`.html`)

- HTTP 403 Forbidden errors on several domain (ftc.gov, legifrance.gouv.fr, sagaftra.org) indicate bot detection or access restrictions. Consider implementing delay-based retry with user-agent rotation.
- Connection timeouts on house.gov and fairwork.gov.au indicate network/firewall issues. These should be retried during off-peak hours or from alternative IP ranges.
