Abstract eContents

The adoption of shared or interoperable standards for legal information represents an important precondition for enabling access, communication, processing, and integration of legal sources through IT technologies, in an open and cooperative framework. The annual workshop on Legislative XML is the most significant European event in the domain of standards for legal information.
This volume collects the contributions presented at the V Legislative XML Workshop, hosted by EUI (the European University Institute of Florence) and organised by EUI in cooperation with ITTIG-CNR (the Institute of Legal Information Theory and Techniques of the Italian National Research Council) and CIRSFID (the Legal Informatics Centre of the University of Bologna). The workshop has been characterised by a large and diverse participation: more than 100 people from more 20 countries (and 4 continents, Europe, North America, South America, and Africa) were present, coming form public administrations (national and regional parliaments and governmental bodies), academic institutions and IT companies.

Carlo Biagioli is a senior researcher at ITTIG-CNR. He works in the field of legal ICT, planning software systems to support legislative drafting. He studied formalisms to capture the normative profile semantics in the legislative texts, through provisions models and domain concepts ontologies. He is a member and promoter of the national working groups establishing the XML and URN standards for Italian legislation.
Enrico Francesconi has a PhD in Computer Science from University of Florence and currently is a researcher at ITTIG-CNR. His research activity includes legal standards, legal drafting and AI techniques for document classification and knowledge extraction. He participates in Italian and European working groups establishing legal XML and URN standards.
Giovanni Sartor is Marie-Curie professor of Legal informatics and Legal Theory at EUI and professor of Computer and Law at the University of Bologna (on leave). He worked at the Court of Justice of the EU (Luxembourg), at ITTIG-CNR, and held the chair in Jurisprudence at Queen's University of Belfast (where he now is honorary professor). He is co-editor of the Artificial Intelligence and Law Journal and has published widely in legal philosophy, computational logic, legislation technique, and computer law.
