Lima on the LexML Brazil Free Access to Law Project

Rob Richards October 16, 2010

Dr. João Alberto de Oliveira Lima of the Federal Senate of Brazil has posted The LexML Brazil Project, on the VoxPopuLII Blog, published by the Legal Information Institute at Cornell University Law School.

In his post, Dr. Lima describes the LexML Brazil free access to law project, and the technology underlying its LexML Brazil Portal and Brazilian Federal Constitution Portal.

Dr. Lima’s post explains the project’s reference model — which is based on CIDOC CRM — and persistent identifier system, which implements the URN:LEX legal uniform resource name standard.

Dr. Lima’s post concludes by sketching the project’s future plans, which include the creation of a suite of open source legal document management tools, and full implementation of the LexML Brazil XML Schema, which is based on the Akoma Ntoso legal XML standards.

Dr. Lima’s post should be of interest to the legal publishing community, as well as to those concerned with eGovernment, legal technology innovation, free access to law, or public access to legal information.
