Subject: Re: [legalxml-courtfiling] Preliminary List of "Roles" in LegalProceedings
Before this list is provided to the Data Dictionary group, I highly recommend that each of the proposed "roles" includes a brief description to differentiate them from one another. This will help the task force to condense duplicates from various sources. At first glance, they appear to be titles (or perhaps relationships) rather than roles . For example, in the JudicialOfficer listing, I am not able to differentiate the difference between some of the items listed-- what is the difference in "role" between a circuit judge and a circuit court judge?

We want to provide the list to GTRI from the TC in connection with the GTRI work on a Justice XML Data Dictionary. This is a preliminary list of proposed general categories of participants in a legal proceeding and of specific "roles" within those general categories. I have not given John a chance to review this preliminary list in advance, so criticisms, questions, etc. should be directed to me. Each category description identifies the primary context of the role (its relationship to something else involved in a legal proceeding) in parentheses and includes a brief definition of the "role". This preliminary list is simply to get the ball rolling. I've no doubt missed some roles. John and I both will welcome further postings and suggestions regarding additional "roles" to add to this list.
