Advancing Legal Transparency

Redefining global access to legislative information through structured data and advanced technology

Our Mission

Ontocracia is dedicated to democratizing access to legal and political information worldwide. We transform complex legislative resources into standardized, accessible data that empowers citizens, researchers, and professionals to make informed decisions.

By creating consistent, structured frameworks for global legal information, we're building a foundation for more transparent governance and effective democratic participation.

Our Vision

We envision a world where legislative information is universally accessible, structured, and interoperable. The US Code Browser represents our first step toward this vision—creating a comprehensive, programmatically accessible repository of United States federal law.

Our long-term vision extends globally, encompassing legal systems worldwide and creating unprecedented opportunities for comparative legal analysis and research.
