About the Case Repository
This repository contains professional ethics cases where abstract principles are applied to concrete situations. Each case demonstrates how ethical guidelines are interpreted and applied in specific contexts through structured analysis and expert reasoning.
Cases are organized by year and provide examples of how ethical principles are weighed and resolved when they appear to conflict. The repository includes the factual circumstances, relevant ethical provisions, discussion of competing considerations, and final determinations.
Each case typically includes:
- Facts - The circumstances and context of the situation
- Questions - The specific ethical questions being examined
- References - Citations to relevant codes of ethics or professional standards
- Discussion - Analysis of the ethical considerations and precedents
- Conclusions - The final determinations or recommendations
Cases are stored with structured metadata that enables searching by content, year, and thematic categorization. The semantic representation captures relationships between ethical principles, factual circumstances, and reasoning patterns to support comparative analysis across cases.
