Lex: Legislation in XML
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a proposal for an open XML standard for the markup of legal documents: METALex. The standard provides a generic and easily extensible framework for the XML encoding of the structure and contents of legal and paralegal documents. It differs from other existing metadata schemes in two respects: It is language and jurisdiction independent and it aims to accommodate uses of XML beyond search and presentation services.

متن کاملTXP: a transaction-based XML parser
The recent emergence of eXtensible Markup Language (XML) as a new standard for data representation and exchange on the World-Wide Web has drawn significant interest in XML parsers.
