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.
