Where to start???
La Fabrique de la Loi - Open Legislative Data in Paris - 6th & 7th July, 2012
How far can we go before we end up with information overload due to already overburdened staff cracking up?

Current workflows in Design Checking
La Fabrique de la Loi - Open Legislative Data in Paris - 6th & 7th July, 2012
• Completely reliant upon accuracy of interpretation during 1st stage
• Hugely inconsistent between local authorities/over geographic boundaries
• Currently no measure to comparatively measure consistency of decisions
• Requirement for user oriented representations of domain specific literature to facilitate particular tasks

Where can we help???• Where the approach doesn’t affect existing
workflows?• Doesn’t cost stacks of money due to time and up
front investment?• Addresses the problem of inconsistent
interpretation of legislative and regulatory documentation?
• Embraces the fast moving area of open data/legislation which allows us to build services around our data?

The Additional Step
La Fabrique de la Loi - Open Legislative Data in Paris - 6th & 7th July, 2012
• Based on (X)HTML source input• XProc managed linear XML pipeline• Pipeline consists of 7 parts covering
• XSLT transformation to Crown Legislation Markup Language
• interim error handling (x3)• domain context specific named
entity recognition and subsequent term feature annotation (regulation specific defined terms)
• profession specific term annotation using linked data construction resources from local/remote ontologies

Conclusions & Lessons• Consistency is key• Data cleaning and normalization is expensive but absolutely
imperative to ensuring good output• User oriented authoring can be achieved with medium term
investment (time) based on applied knowledge of target domain and technologies… plus vision and acknowledgement that the de facto scenario need to improve
• Existing standards – data model - query model – ecosystem• Near null financial investment. All OSS ASLv2.0• Opens the potential user base up entirely removing 100%
workload from national/local government to provide all services
