Thus retrieved data, as the second part of this paper shows, can be used to research information, analyze references and links, trace pathways between correlating legal documents and establish the relevance of legal documents on the grounds of their mutual correlation. The retrieved data can further be utilized in various other manners. The methodology of this research and thus attained information form a good basis and act as input data for numerous further analyses.
