In the domain of geospatial data management, accurately defining the extent of a resource is crucial for effective search and retrieval. Traditionally, Minimum Bounding Boxes (MBB) have been the go-to method for this purpose. However, in this paper we conducted an empirical study to reveal that MBBs often fall short in terms of precision (returning false positive results such as Figure 1), leading to less effective spatial searches.

Civil law regulates the civil or private relations of persons: it deals with the civil status of persons, their family rights and duties, property and other real rights over things, the regime of obligations and contracts, and successions and inheritances. Although in Europe each country has its own civil law code at the state level, this law dates back to past times and has evolved until present times. In many administrative areas this law has its origin in historical kingdoms that regulated the conditions of settlement of their citizens. The books that publish these historical codes of civil law and the doctrinal works that document their interpretation make up an asset of cultural interest whose study allows us to learn about the political, social, and cultural context of this historical period. Nowadays there are numerous initiatives (e.g. Europeana) that have promoted the digitization of documentary heritage, including that related to civil law. However, simple digitization is not enough. This work is a first step in a research project that aims to promote the study of works of special interest in the field of the history of civil law (specially, civil law authors of XVI, XVII and XVIII centuries) accompanied with the development of the necessary technology to have an online hypertext edition of the works that includes the digital facsimile, a critical edition, a translation and all the complements that are deemed relevant (e.g., legal codes cited and notes or glosses to the text both legal and historical-philological or bibliographical).
