Subject: Re: [legalcitem] A proposal for LegalCite TC subcommittees
Thanks for listing the descriptions for the subcommittees, the Secondary Materials Subcommittee would be one that I would want to work on quite a bit as well as the Technical. I would be happy to help with the organization of the Secondary Subcommittee and even chair or co-chair it.

OH! My mistake!
Sorry all, what I meant to write was that we have to have a name for the Chair of each SC before I can set it up. That's part of the ground rules. So please, if you are interested in chairing one of the SCs, by all means step forward and volunteer.

Thank you Fabio & folks, we cannot form the SCs with chairs so if you want to lead one, please don't hesitate to volunteer.

SubCommittees #0
Name: Technical Subcommittee
Short name: String Theory SC (winking at Daniel Bennet's proposals)
Purpose: The LegalCite technical subcommittee shall identify the technical and syntactical characteristics of the Legal Citations to be standardized by the TC. It will first provide a list of requirements in terms of data formats, syntax and basic conceptual model of the Citations, for the other SCs to consider in their own activities. Finally it will collect the outputs of the other SCs and coagulate them into a single unified syntax for Legal Citations.
Deliverables: 1) Fundamental requirements for data formats, string syntax and conceptual model of citations 2) Overview of existing technical approaches to legal citations with lessons learnt and errors to avoid. 3) Final syntax for Legal Citation
Proposed Chair: ***I am volunteering to chair this SC***
SubCommittees #1
Name: Subcommittee on Executive Branch/Regulations/Administrative documents
Short name: EBRA SC
Purpose: The LegalCite EBRA subcommittee shall identify the relevant features of Executive Branch/Regulations/Administrative documents needed for their identification and description in the context of legal citations. Scope of the SC include documents such as [TO BE FILLED IN BY TC], but not [TO BE FILLED IN BY TC]. Emphasis is given on international reach, support for multiple languages, multiple jurisdictions and multiple uses. Of great importance are primary source legal materials which are most binding in nature, and which are most cited in other documents. Features are organized in identifying vs. accessory, required vs. desired, and describing the cited document vs. describing the citation(*).
Deliverables: 1) A collection of use cases outlining the types of materials and citation types that exist for these materials. These use cases should include examples from different user communities (i.e. lawyers, bureaucrats, academics, business people, general public) as well as consider different languages, and jurisdictions. 2) Overview of the scope of the SC and first list of relevant document types 3) Full list of features relevant for the documents in scope in this SC.

(*) A couple of weeks ago, I proposed the following categorization of features:
On 2/13/14 4:59 PM, Fabio Vitali wrote:
> a) identifying vs. accessory (those features that are necessary to identify the document, e.g. the number of an act or the year, vs. those features that are frequently accompanying the reference, but not strictly necessary, e.g., the month and day of an act, if the number is present and is reset at the beginning of the year)
> c) required vs. desired (e.g. if I request act 12/2013 in HTML, I will not accept act 13/2013 in HTML, but I am willing to accept act 12/2013 in PDF).
> d) describing the cited document vs. the citation itself (e.g., the number of the act is describing the cited document, specifying that a reference is modificatory or groundwork for the judgment are justifying the citation itself, and not describing the cited document). Thus motivation, provenance, type, purpose, scope are all features of the citation and not of the cited document.
