Conclusions:

The concept and typology proposed for legal data bring contributions, both to the field of Information Science and to the field of Law, regarding the analysis of the classes that involve the management, use and reuse of these data, and make it possible to determine the metrics intended for the Goals of the 2030 Agenda, providing justice that moves towards sustainable legal information.
