The other formalization of law

Abstract

me g.rowth of the Internet and of the Web space calls for a re-examination of some of the basis of computer information systems for the law. All the more since searching and publishing systems in the law field have known few changes in the last thirty years. In that context, the SGML-based Jirtemet publishing system developed for the decisions of the Supreme Court of Canada offers the opportunity of checking a number of hypothesis on the interest of SGML for the design of better information systems for the law. The project also sheds a light on possible contributions of SGML and AI techniques to each other.
