Abstract
To get on a mutual ground as a team of computer scientists and legal experts, mapping open legal data, we had to shift our perspectives, dive into foreign concepts, and collaborate closely.
Highlights
The data sources to be mapped were Austrian open legal data, published with custom metadata schemata, under the CC BY 3.0 AT license [3] by the Austrian Legal Information System [4] ( RIS [5]) and the Austrian Parliament [6], catalogued by data.gv.at, the open government data portal of Austria [7]
Managing related documents in large datasets is typically a task of database engineers; the structures and linkages of legal documents are designed by legal documentarists and are not always a clean fit in database management systems
While arguably the two domains have been on convergent trajectories for a few decades, we measure the history of legal documents in centuries
Summary
Abstract—To get on a mutual ground as a team of computer scientists and legal experts, mapping open legal data, we had to shift our perspectives, dive into foreign concepts, and collaborate closely. We share our experiences of how we, a team of computer scientists and legal experts, worked together on a research project to map open legal data from several sources to one standard schema. We succeeded at our task and seized emerging opportunities for data enrichment. To explain why this metadata mapping exercise required such close collaboration with legal experts, we would first like to provide some context about the data we worked with
