Spain on Going Legislative XML Projects y

The current state of the use of XML in legislative projects is presented. The experiences presented are classified in four groups: commercial databases, ocial databases, other projects and experiences, and finally, current research in this area. The analysis considers four aspects for each legislative XML project examined: a) what it is; b) starting date; c) who is doing it; and d) how it is being developed. This paper presents a synthetic overview of the state of the art of current legislative XML projects in Spain. That is, the projects we consider are restricted to the geographical area of Spain, and which are related with the use of XML in the legislative environment. Therefore, other applications of XML to Law-related aspects, but not to legislative projects, are not included in this survey 1 .
