First International Akoma Ntoso Conference (IANC 2015)

August 1st 2015, George Mason University, Arlington, VA (USA) (brochure PDF) – cirsfid.ianc@unibo.it

Objectives

With the upcoming release of the new OASIS standard called Akoma Ntoso, the digital representation in XML of legal and legislative documents is coming of age. Increasingly local and national Parliaments, Official Journals and Gazettes, and legislative bodies are adopting, including or considering to switch to Akoma Ntoso due to its completeness and flexibility. Many
organizations are considering its adoption even outside of legislation, exploring document types ranging from judgments to hansards, from parliamentary orders of the day to amendment
lists.

IANC enlists the participation of the main actors and stakeholders involved in this technological and cultural process with the aim of sharing experiences and building sustainable capacity and know-how in the Akoma Ntoso community.

For these reasons we encourage practitioners, public employees, academics, researchers and activists to contribute and share their experiences in searching, evaluating, adopting, adapting,
providing tools and training personnel in using Akoma Ntoso for legal, legislative and other types of documents.

Topics

Topics sought after for the conference include, but are not limited to:

* Experiences in the adoption of Akoma Ntoso in legal and legislative bodies
* Interactive tools for legal and legislative staff
* Document repositories for legal, legislative and other types of documents
* Access mechanisms and the Akoma Ntoso naming convention
* Semantic Web and Akoma Ntoso
* How Akoma Ntoso can help activism and hacktivism
* Comparative survey of Legal XML standards
