The CHLexML project, presented by Mario Ramalho and his colleagues from the University of Applied Sciences of Fribourg, addresses the complexities of Swiss legal data publishing. This initiative aims to unify federal and cantonal legislation into a single, interoperable web portal using XML technology. Key focuses include the development of a common XML schema, enhancing citizen access to legal information, and integrating various cantonal classification systems. The project promises improved efficiency in legal document management and multilingualism, ensuring better legal understanding for citizens.

What is missing ? • Interoperable and exchange formats • Efficient and distributed IR systems • Chronological research possibilities • Fixed, predefined and up to date URLs • Easier comparative search of cantonal legislations • Easier access to and better understanding of the law (the citizen is supposed to know the law) Mario Ramalho Workshop on legislative XML
Solution : Gesetzesdatenbank • Common XML schema for federal & cantonal legislation • Web portal unifying access to federal and cantonal legislation CHLexML Unified Portal Mario Ramalho Workshop on legislative XML
