Explains the kinds of rules binding an organisation's data and where they are published

G-1901 · Knowledge knobit · Foundation knowledge, used across activities · Competence: Data governance · Also needed in Data security, Document and content management

Legal acts by kind and legal force (constitution, act, regulation; EU regulations apply directly, directives through national acts; international agreements), published in Riigi Teataja and EUR-Lex; supervisory guidance and contractual standards (PCI DSS) bind differently and are told apart from law.

Can AI do this?

AI does this well Most of the tested AI models master this. 4 of 4 models in the current benchmark master it.

Model	Tier	Probability of mastery	Status
gemini-4-argon	Flagship	100%	Mastered
gemini-3.5-flash-lite	Low cost	100%	Mastered
gpt-6-luna	Low cost	100%	Mastered
claude-haiku-5-5	Low cost	100%	Mastered

Mastered means a probability of at least 90% that the model has this knobit, estimated from its graded answers. “Not shown” means the answers do not settle it either way. How the models are tested.

What it looks like in practice

Expected result: The kinds told apart by legal force and place of publication, with supervisory guidance and contractual standards told apart from legal acts

How it is assessed: Classifies a requirement's source as a legal act (and of which kind), supervisory guidance or a contractual standard, and names where the act is published
