FWIW, last week the European Parliament has adopted the MetaLex XML syntax for legal sources. It uses RDFa for metadata specification (versions, applicability, references/citations etc.). It's still a bit 'fresh off the press', but more information will be made available through http://www.metalex.eu (MetaLex is a joint effort by the Leibniz Center for Law at the University of Amsterdam, and the University of Bologna). -Rinke On Thu, 25 Jun 2009 00:07:57 +0200, "Jose M.
