Announcement & 
Agenda

 

OASIS LegalXML- Legislative 1-day 
Face-To-Face Workshop
September 7, 2004 - WYNDHAM 
Hotel - Burlington, Vermont 

Collocated with National 
Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) - 

National Association of 
Legislative Information Technology (NALIT)

& 
Legal Services Staff Section Professional Development 
Seminars

 

OASIS 
LegalXML invites you to join the current members of the Legislative Documents 
Technical Committee for the first in a series of periodic face-to-face working 
sessions. This meeting is open to all Originators, Distributors and Consumers of 
Legislative and Regulatory Information! 

 

In 
this first workshop, we will identify the various needs for Data Standards in 
the Legislative and Regulatory Community and prioritize our work in addressing 
those needs, with the following specific objectives: 

  
refine 
  the goals of the Technical Committee 
  
define 
  a roadmap of committee deliverables 
  
begin 
  & set the next steps for getting to our first 
  destination 

 

In this 
upcoming session, we will be expanding our outreach to the community in an 
interactive participatory workshop. The workshop will target incorporating the 
diverse needs and objectives from the various constituents in the legislative 
and regulatory continuum into the Technical Committee's goals and prioritizing 
the work of the technical committee in accordance with the goals and the 
specific near term needs of these constituents. 

The 
format of the workshop is designed to engage all the participants in both in the 
identification and prioritization of this effort and to expose potential members 
to one of the more effective workshop methods used in the XML Standards 
Community. 

In 
order to foster rapid and effective implementation and adoption, standards must 
recognize and account for the diverse viewpoints in its conceptualization and 
design. Once goals and requirements are accounted for, prioritization and 
planning can be done effectively. Please join us in giving this effort a solid 
start.
