# SOLI Python Library
[](https://badge.fury.io/py/soli-python)
[](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
[](https://pypi.org/project/soli-python/)
The SOLI Python Library provides a simple and efficient way to interact with the Standard for Open Legal Information (SOLI) ontology.
SOLI is an open, CC-BY licensed standard designed to represent universal elements of legal data, improving communication and data interoperability across the legal industry.
## Features
- Load the SOLI ontology from GitHub or a custom HTTP URL
- Search for classes by label or definition
- Get subclasses and parent classes
- Access detailed information about each class, including labels, definitions, and examples
- Convert classes to OWL XML or Markdown format
## Installation
You can install the SOLI Python library using pip:
```bash
pip install soli-python
```
For the latest development version, you can install directly from GitHub:
```bash
pip install --upgrade https://github.com/alea-institute/soli-python/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
```
## Quick Start
Here's a simple example to get you started with the SOLI Python library:
```python
from soli import SOLI
# Initialize the SOLI client
soli = SOLI()
# Search by prefix
results = soli.search_by_prefix("Mich")
for owl_class in results:
print(f"Class: {owl_class.label}")
# Search for a class by label
results = soli.search_by_label("Mich")
for owl_class, score in results:
print(f"Class: {owl_class.label}, Score: {score}")
# Get all areas of law
areas_of_law = soli.get_areas_of_law()
for area in areas_of_law:
print(area.label)
```
