Abstract

Italian Ministry of Justice, with the contributions of the researcher centres, universities and public bodies, are presently engaged in an effort to work out shared standards with which to represent legal texts. Documents standardised under uniform formats and structures make it possible to link up distinct bodies of norms, and this in turn makes it easier to find and look up norms and design tools with which to process them, as when doing legal drafting and bringing out consolidated texts. This function is enabled by marking up the different parts of a legal text: its identification data (indicating text type, text number, date of delivery, and the like), its partitions (e.g., the articles and sections that make up its layout), and the normative references it contains.
