Kasuskasus

Kasuskasus is a fictional term used to describe a public, cross-domain database of notable cases designed for education and research. The concept envisions a centralized repository that collects case materials from law, governance, business ethics, science controversies, and civil society.

Etymology: The name blends the Indonesian word for case, kasus, with repetition to signal variety, and is capitalized as Kasuskasus in text.

Content and structure: Each entry provides a concise case summary, jurisdiction or field, date, outcome, and links to primary sources. Entries include metadata such as legal status, governing instrument, participants, and methodological notes. The database emphasizes compare-and-contrast by tagging themes like due process, constitutional procedure, or risk assessment. Multilingual descriptions and versions may be provided, with original sources preserved.

Access and usage: Kasuskasus would be open or under permissive licenses in the hypothetical model, with API access and export formats for research and teaching. Users can search by domain, keywords, or facets and generate case study materials for classrooms or analyses.

Reception and limitations: In discussions of virtual repositories, supporters highlight transparency and reproducibility; critics warn about context loss in summaries and the importance of source reliability and ethical considerations.
