http://www.ictparliament.org/node/10527
<p><span>The e-Democracia platform offers simple web 2.0 tools to allow
citizens to interact with lawmakers on specific issues, helping to
connect Brazilian citizens to national lawmakers across thousands of
miles of geography. Citizens can use the portal and social media
platforms to engage Congressmen, mark-up legislation, and propose and
debate solutions to policy problems. The platform has facilitated
cross-country dialogue among disparate groups and has thousands of
active users. It has also improved legislative transparency.</span></p>Open StandardsXMLTue, 10 Sep 2013 14:23:27 +0000ludovica10527 at http://www.ictparliament.orgJURIX 2013: 26th International Conference on Legal Knowledge and Information Systems

<p>This paper presents a proposal for an open XML standard for the markup of legal documents: METALex. The standard provides a generic and easily extensible framework for the XML encoding of the structure and contents of legal and paralegal documents. It differs from other existing metadata schemes in two respects: It is language and jurisdiction independent and it aims to accommodate uses of XML beyond search and presentation services.</p>Open StandardsXMLMon, 03 Dec 2012 15:03:40 +0000ludovica6647 at http://www.ictparliament.orgLegislative XML for the Semantic Web
