We plan to promptly provide the Outlines of all the newly promulgated Japanese statutes in English, using machine translation. Structured documents in XML format made it possible to achieve various functions concerning machine translation, text search, and display style. We developed the Document Type Definition for the Outlines based on our investigation of their structure. We also developed a rule-based annotator for the Outlines, which adequately marked up 87.2% on the Outlines of Japanese acts.

Now that the hard work has been done, the eGrey Book requires relatively little effort to maintain and update.   It has already become the default reference point for local practitioners.  With time, it may offer a model for replication in other African jurisdictions facing similar challenges.

The usage of mobile phones has assumed phenomenal increase recently; it is the norm rather than the exception in Africa but with the unfortunate trend of dearth of legal and regulatory measures. This Article deals with the legal and regulatory framework pertaining to mobile phones and examines issues relating to or consequences generated thereof. The paper argues that the extant legal and regulatory framework in Africa is not in the best interest of subscribers,’ and calls for a paradigm shift towards taking into cognizance the said interest of subscribers’ by governments’ with the view to putting in place, legal and regulatory precepts simply because the manufacturers of mobile phones and telephony companies, wherever they are situate or operate from, need and rely on the profits generated from African countries.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Curtotti, Michael Weibel, Wayne McCreath, Eric Ceynowa, Nicolas Frug, Sara Bruce, Tom R Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2015-03-23 Description An account of the resource This papers sits at the intersection of citizen access to law, legal informatics and plain language. The paper reports the results of a joint project of the Cornell University Legal Information Institute and the Australian National University which collected thousands of crowdsourced assessments of the readability of law through the Cornell LII site. The aim of the project is to enhance accuracy in the prediction of the readability of legal sentences. The study requested readers on legislative pages of the LII site to rate passages from the United States Code and the Code of Federal Regulations and other texts for readability and other characteristics. The research provides insight into who uses legal rules and how they do so. The study enables conclusions to be drawn as to the current readability of law and spread of readability among legal rules. The research is intended to enable the creation of a dataset of legal rules labelled by human judges as to readability. Such a dataset, in combination with machine learning, will assist in identifying factors in legal language which impede readability and access for citizens. As far as we are aware, this research is the largest ever study of readability and usability of legal language and the first research which has applied crowdsourcing to such an investigation. The research is an example of the possibilities open for enhancing access to law through engagement of end users in the online legal publishing environment for enhancement of legal accessibility and through collaboration between legal publishers and researchers.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Bestue, Carmen Orozco, Mariana Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2015-03-22 Description An account of the resource The observation of the general practices of translation of End-User License Agreements from English into Spanish lead to the finding that some companies accounted for the difference between the legal requirements of the source text - the original text, in English - and the target text - the translated text, in Spanish - whilst others did not. This finding flagged up the need to improve the way in which professional translators approached the translation of these documents by providing them with the appropriate tools. Therefore, an application was created to provide all the necessary information in both the legal field - in the form of advice and links to Spanish and European statute law existing in the matter - and the linguistic field - in the form of a terminological database with specific advice for the translation key terms, a revised corpus with suggestions for translating typical clauses, and other tools that will be thoroughly explained in the article.

This article explores the potential of machine-readable privacy notices to address this transparency challenge. We analyse a large source of open data comprised of semi-structured privacy notifications from hundreds of thousands of organisations in the UK, to investigate the reasons for data collection, the types of personal data collected and from whom, and the types of recipients who have access to the data. We analyse three specific sectors in detail; health, finance, and data brokerage. Finally, we draw recommendations for possible future applications of open data to privacy policies and transparency notices.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Leucci, Stefano Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2014-09-12 Description An account of the resource Open data is fuel for the future economy. Opening and sharing data owned by public bodies, communities and companies has an incredible economic value. This will potentially lead our society to a new data-driven thinking paradigm. They also enable a smarter urban space where companies can provide better and innovative services. In particular, accessing to government data held by public bodies generates accountability, transparency and fosters economic growth. Two main aspects define data as open: data formats and licenses. This paper aims at listing some preliminary notes on the copyright framework in which open data are released and presenting the idea of considering licenses as metadata. Many tools, according to the semantic web paradigm, aim at enforcing this aspect, managing data exchange in a more compliance way and reducing costs for reuse of data. Finally, a research path for a new approach to digital ownership will be presented.

It provides an historical perspective of the development of Copyright law in Nigeria by tracing the introduction of the first indigenous copyright law in Nigeria and the current copyright legislation into the Nigerian legal system. The paper highlights the issues with the first indigenous copyright legislation, discusses some of the provisions of the Act, and the subsidiary legislations that have been issued. It also examines the role of the Nigerian Copyright Commission as the agency saddled with the responsibility of administering Nigeria’s Copyright Laws. The paper concludes with thoughts on the future for copyright in Nigeria.
