Overview and Aim

======================================================

The school aims at providing knowledge of the most significant ICT standards

emerging for legislation, judiciary, parliamentary and administrative

documents. The course provides an understanding of their impact in the

different phases of the legislative and administrative process, awareness of

the tools based on legal XML standards and their constellations, and the

ability to participate in the preparation and use of standard-compliant

documents throughout law-making process. In particular we would like to

create consciousness in the stakeholders in the legal domain about the benefits and

the possibilities provided by the correct usage of the Semantic Web

technologies like XML standards, ontologies, natural language techniques

applied to the legal text, legal knowledge modelling and reasoning.

responsible of the document management content, students and researchers
