I worked with the European Commission, DG SJ, in Brussels on the development and testing of an advanced text mining tool. This open-source tool was designed to extract European Union and other legal references from unstructured data. A significant feature of this project was its support for all 24 official EU languages, making it a versatile and powerful tool for processing a wide range of legal documents. The tool, known as Ref2Link, can be explored here: https://ec.europa.eu/isa2/solutions/ref2link_en
