NormeinRete: strategy
• Specialized portal– a specialized internet search engine to retrieve laws published on
different Public Administration’s web sites
• Standard definitions to allow interoperability– Cooperation without intrusion– Compliant to internet technologies
• Development and distribution of open source software to support legislative document management and publishing;
• Training and knowledge sharing
![Page 11: Normeinrete a federative approach to on-line legislation access · 2013-09-19 · a federative approach to on-line legislation access ... – Primary legislation (laws, legislative](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022080722/5f7b5e9ddab9237e1673e58b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Implementation approach
• First experimental phase (1999-2003)– Funded by CNIPA – Technical working groups
• Contributions from PA, Universities, research centers– Voluntary participation (very much like internet communities)
• Following phases: high level political commitment and fundings.

• Parser• Editor
– 2 official standard definitions

Institutions involved
• Parliament and constitutional Boards

![Page 14: Normeinrete a federative approach to on-line legislation access · 2013-09-19 · a federative approach to on-line legislation access ... – Primary legislation (laws, legislative](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022080722/5f7b5e9ddab9237e1673e58b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Technological interoperability
• Based on data format standardization
• Each institution manages independently its own information system but ALL agree on a common document identification mechanism and standard format
• A cooperative layer assures the availability of common services and shared information

Italian standards for legislative digital documents
1. Mark-up vocabulary (based on XML) to represent legislative documents structure, semantics and metadata
2. Rules to build univocal document’s identifiers (regardless of their physical location) based on URN standard
– Defined within working groups (with contributions from Parliament, Ministries, Research institutes and CNIPA)
– Issued by CNIPA and published on the Official Journal as technical norms
![Page 17: Normeinrete a federative approach to on-line legislation access · 2013-09-19 · a federative approach to on-line legislation access ... – Primary legislation (laws, legislative](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022080722/5f7b5e9ddab9237e1673e58b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Legislative and regulatory acts
1. Documents with a well-defined structure– laws, constitutional laws, regional laws
2. Partially structured documents – regulation acts, decrees
3. Generic documents – any kind of non-structured acts, annexes,..
According to drafting rulesjointly emanated in 2001 by parliament’s and government’s presidents
![Page 18: Normeinrete a federative approach to on-line legislation access · 2013-09-19 · a federative approach to on-line legislation access ... – Primary legislation (laws, legislative](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022080722/5f7b5e9ddab9237e1673e58b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
XML mark-up definition
• One Document type Definition (DTD) representing several types of documents with three versions (same vocabulary with different constraints):– Basic DTD: well structured simple documents – Strict DTD : well structured complex documents – Loose DTD: documents with irregular structure, exceptions
(suitable for historical documents)
• Mark-up is only concerned with structure and semantics, presentation is delegated to external stylesheets
• Many of the elements defined are optional
![Page 19: Normeinrete a federative approach to on-line legislation access · 2013-09-19 · a federative approach to on-line legislation access ... – Primary legislation (laws, legislative](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022080722/5f7b5e9ddab9237e1673e58b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
DTD Elements
• Structural elements– heading, preamble, sections, articles, paragraphs…
• Special elements– references to other laws, formatted text-embedded
relevant entities
• Metadata – subject-matter classification, publication data,
preparatory iter
• Semantic elements – obligations, prohibitions, penalties, exceptions, modifications...
