+### Data Collection
+- Automated collection from legal databases and public records
+- Support for multiple data source types:
+  - Web-based legal repositories
+  - Government databases
+  - Public legal records
+  - Private legal document collections
+- Rate-limited and respectful data gathering
+- Source attribution and metadata preservation
+
+### Processing Pipeline
+- Document parsing and normalization
+- Legal entity recognition
+- Citation extraction and validation
+- Document classification
+- Metadata enrichment
+- Quality assessment
+
+### Indexing Operations
+- Real-time document indexing
+- Full-text search capability
+- Legal citation indexing
+- Relationship mapping
+- Version control tracking
