Re: [legalcitem-legislation] Technical Committee

Dear Melanie,

we decided in the last meeting to take the neutral document of wiki and 
to include the suggestions coming from John's document. The John 
document is a vision from ELI that is one of the important standard used 
in Europe (in this moment only by UK and FR). We need to produce a 
bottom-based document that is able to resume all the points of view and 
other visions, in order to provide a large scenario of the required 
functionalities.

We have similar documents from Akoma Ntoso (see this one that is already 
in the OASIS repository

https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/legaldocml/201409/msg00007/Akoma_Ntoso_Naming_Convention_Version-2014-07-30-wd13.doc

(I am officially include this document in the basic material of this 
LegalCiteM-legislation subcommittee as input coming from LegalDocML TC)

or from URN:lex, both based on FRBR (Fabio and I were the main authors 
of the vision of FRBR in legal domain, see our work in Metalex/CEN and 
our papers). Our idea is to not impose ONE standard vision, but to 
integrate all the existing ones.

I am really convinced that our goal as sub-committee is to merge 
different visions in neutral matter for converging on a unique technical 
requirement list.

I am working in this direction as decided in the last meeting and I have 
already started. It is expected to have a document tomorrow.

Yours,
Monica
