Abstract

This paper describes extensions to our native XML legislative editor MetaVex, dealing with specific requests of legislative drafters: The automatic generation of amending documents based on the editing of an existing law or proposal, and the automatic consolidation of (proposed) legislation based on the original and its amending documents. Moreover, we try to automatically detect (potential) clashes of amendments and amendments of amendments.
