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! There is no charge for
this workshop!

 

Due to the timing of this
event prior to the beginning of the NALIT meeting, we will begin our meeting at
1PM to support travel needs of the community. Further, the workshop will have
an open entry policy. You are invited to join us at anytime in the agenda. We
have designed the agenda for at least three comfortable entry points at 1PM,
5:15PM and 7:15PM. 

 

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.
