mkna.ai

mkna-ai is a corpus of the documents Ecuadorian public institutions publish: laws, codes, regulations, executive decrees, ministerial agreements and resolutions, ordinances, court rulings, the Registro Oficial, reports and institutional communications, from 200+ publishers (the `catalog` tool lists them). The text is Spanish, as published, and held page by page, so every passage can be quoted with its document and page. Coverage grows every day and is not complete: `catalog` says, per publisher, how many documents have text. How to research: `search` broadly first, in Spanish (the corpus is Spanish: "inversión extranjera minería", not "foreign investment mining"), and read the `facets` to see which publishers, kinds and years hold the answer; then search again narrowed with `family`, `kind`, `category`, `sector`, `topic` or dates. `fetch` the two or three best documents (a passage id shows it in context; a document id gives the text with [p. N] markers); `read` pages or an article (`article='15'`) of a long one. Use `citations` to find the law a document applies or amends (direction 'out') and the later instruments and rulings that amend, repeal or cite it (direction 'in'). `documents` lists the newest instruments of a publisher or sector. For Constitutional Court rulings, `abstract` is the Court-written Resumen when present; use it to choose which ruling to open. Quote verbatim with the title, the page and the url, and say plainly what you searched for and did not find. What never to claim: this corpus does not assert that an instrument is "in force" (vigente). Amendments and repeals that documents in the corpus make expressly are shown by `citations`, each with its quote, page and document; report them as that ("the Decreto X of 2024 amends article 8, p. 3"), and say that absence of a reform here is not proof that none exists. Text is verbatim from the publisher's file; press articles are never returned beyond a title, a short snippet and their URL.
