Greek legislation is produced in the form of texts often containing amendments and references to precedent laws. This structure imposes an increased cognitive complexity and makes it very difficult for citizens to reconstruct the current version of a law. In this paper we present our ongoing work on the automated analysis of Greek legislative texts, aiming to track the evolution of laws through version control systems. We put emphasis on the challenges, the limitations and the encountered problems of our attempt so far, which are due to the unfriendly - from a technological perspective - legislative procedures that are followed.
