Legal metadata interchange framework to match CEN metalex. ICAIL 2009:

This paper presents a legal metadata interchange framework for adding semantics on top of the CEN Metalex standard. The pilot cases developed within the Estrella project and the integration with other national and international XML standards envisage the possibility to use CEN Metalex as a neutral document standard in many situations where legal information resources are involved. Nevertheless for exploiting these potentialities CEN Metalex needs to be enriched with a legal document ontology and moreover to an intermediate layer called LMIF for managing in automatic way the mapping between different local on the general structural layer.
