#WooGLe got a small makeover! 🔍 We've updated the dossier and document list pages with a refreshed design, plus a lot of behind-the-scenes improvements for easier maintenance and future updates. More changes (including the search interface) coming soon! Found a bug? Reach out! (images: before/after)

Built on top of WooGLe, it shows how LLMs can assist government search, not replace it. Read the full recap by @maiklarooij.nl: opengov.nl/blog/2025/11...

About 58% of all Woo requests lead to objections, mostly because officials miss relevant docs in their search. We built a prototype to tackle exactly that. Our tool “Zoek & Verrijk” uses an LLM for FOIA-focused query expansion and reference extraction, helping officials uncover missing material.

We joined the “Terminal Woo” hackathon at the Fokker Terminal with @opengov.nl; pitching an IR-inspired fix for a real problem in Dutch FOIA (Woo) search.
