Statement of Purpose

The LegalCite technical subcommittee shall identify the technical and syntactical characteristics of the Legal Citations to be standardized by the TC. It will first provide a list of requirements in terms of data formats, syntax and basic conceptual model of the Citations, for the other SCs to consider in their own activities. Finally it will collect the outputs of the other SCs and coagulate them into a single unified syntax for Legal Citations.

Deliverables:

1) Fundamental requirements for data formats, string syntax and conceptual model of citations.

2) Overview of existing technical approaches to legal citations with lessons learnt and errors to avoid.

3) Final syntax for Legal Citation.
