Subject: Invitation to comment on LegalDocML's Akoma Ntoso V1.0 - ends May 10th

 

OASIS members and other interested parties, 

 

We are pleased to announce that Akoma Ntoso Version 1.0 and Akoma Ntoso Naming Convention Version 1.0 from the OASIS LegalDocumentML (LegalDocML) TC is now available for public review an comment. These releases
 incorporate a number of responses and improvements to the previous editions published in May 2016.

 

Akoma Ntoso (“linked hearts” in Akan language of West Africa) provides a framework for the effective exchange of “machine readable” parliamentary, legislative and judiciary documents such as legislation, debate
 records, minutes, judgements, etc. In doing so, it helps build a strong foundation for "open access” to government information.

 

Part 1: XML Vocabulary presents the main motivations, design principles, and benefits of the Akoma Ntoso vocabulary and approach. The document is non-normative material that presents the main pillars of Akoma
 Ntoso to the stakeholders that need to take decisions about how to manage legal sources in a digital manner in a Semantic Web society.

 

Part 2: Specifications documents the Akoma Ntoso XSD and DTD standard, including the graphic representation using Oxygen library.

 

Akoma Ntoso Naming Convention Version 1.0 provides the naming convention for defining IRIs and ids related to the Akoma Ntoso XML standard.

 

 

The documents and related files are available here:

Public Review Period: 

 

OASIS and the LegalDocML TC value your feedback. We solicit feedback from potential users, developers and others, whether OASIS members or not, for the sake of improving the interoperability and quality of its
 technical work.

 

The public review starts 26 April 2017 at 00:00 UTC and ends 10 May 2017 at 11:59 UTC. 

 

The specification was previously submitted for public review [2]. Changes are highlighted in the red-lined DIFF files included with these editions [1]. (Note that because of the extensive number of linked HTML
 content making up Part 2, producing a red-lined version was not possible.) 

 

Comments may be submitted to the TC by any person through the use of the OASIS TC Comment Facility which can be accessed via the button labeled "Send A Comment" at the top of the TC public home page, or directly
 at:

 

http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/comments/form.php?wg_abbrev=legaldocml

 

Feedback submitted by TC non-members for this work and for other work of this TC is publicly archived and can be viewed at:

 

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/legaldocml-comment/

 

All comments submitted to OASIS are subject to the OASIS Feedback License, which ensures that the feedback you provide carries the same obligations at least as the obligations of the TC members. In connection
 with this public review of 'Akoma Ntoso Version 1.0' and 'Akoma Ntoso Naming Convention Version 1.0,' we call your attention to the OASIS IPR Policy [3] applicable especially [4] to the work of this technical committee. All members of the TC should be familiar
 with this document, which may create obligations regarding the disclosure and availability of a member's patent, copyright, trademark and license rights that read on an approved OASIS specification. 

 

OASIS invites any persons who know of any such claims to disclose these if they may be essential to the implementation of the above specification, so that notice of them may be posted to the notice page for this
 TC's work.

 

Additional information about this specification and the LegalDocML TC may be found on the TC's public home page located at:
