OASIS Members and other interested parties,
OASIS is pleased to announce that LegalRuleML Core Specification Version
1.0 from the OASIS LegalRuleML TC [1] has been approved as an OASIS
Committee Specification.
Legal texts, e.g. legislation, regulations, contracts, and case law, are
the source of norms, guidelines, and rules. As text, it is difficult to
exchange specific information content contained in the texts between
parties, to search for and extract structured content from the texts, or to
automatically process it further. Legislators, legal practitioners, and
business managers are, therefore, impeded from comparing, contrasting,
integrating, and reusing the contents of the texts, since any such
activities are manual. In the current web-enabled context, where innovative
eGovernment and eCommerce applications are increasingly deployed, it has
become essential to provide machine-readable forms (generally in XML) of
the contents of the text.
The objective of the LegalRuleML Core Specification Version 1.0 is to
define a standard (expressed with XML-schema and Relax NG and on the basis
of Consumer RuleML 1.02) that is able to represent the particularities of
the legal normative rules with a rich, articulated, and meaningful mark-up
language.
This Committee Specification is an OASIS deliverable, completed and
approved by the TC and fully ready for testing and implementation.
