Re: Ontology design for UK Parliament

Dear all,

> I'm currently working for UK Parliament [1] and we're interested in designing a formal ontology for our procedural data. Initially for use in internal systems but also mapping to common vocabularies for publishing.
> We'd like to do this in as open and collaborative a way as possible and we're wondering if this group would be a good place to do that?

It indeed seems that this is a favorable moment to progress on those 
issues since a number of parliaments in Europe and elsewhere are working 
on this. The Popolo project [1] has already been mentioned.
In France, you may want to look at the work done with the OODF ontology 
[2]. In Europe, I believe that all the work around ELI (and ECLI) is 
relevant [3]. There is finally all the work done by Thomas Francart 
around the legislation extension to schema.org [4].
