The database was structured around these elements plus the judge-commissioner and the
case elements. The case element was created to gather all the documents connected to a
procedure.
The case is the core element of the model. It gives intelligibility to the rest of the
components as it represents the whole legal process in which the involvement of one or
more rights is discussed with evidence that prove the occurrence of the facts as they are
stated in the complaint, which determines the innocence or guilt of the alleged
perpetrators.
The case starts with a complaint presented to the Court and ends with a judgement.
Between both points, admissibility reports, merits reports, hearings and other decisions
can be issued.
In the database, the case element is described through properties such as:
●
Case summary
●
Case status (active or closed)
●
Place of the facts
●
Thematic descriptors (explained in the next section)
