  1. #lvi2009 Chairing session: do-we-need-something-like-a-journal? Pretweeting: a) yes, we do b)conventional academic journal won't do the job.
  2. #lvi2009 Turning tweet coverage of standards session over to @jjoerg42, as I must go prep for next session & audio test.
  3. RT @jjoerg42: #lvi2009 Akoma Ntoso: Standardized XML format for Judgments. Good basic sectioning, rich metadata. http://bit.ly/7XydNr
  4. #lvi2009 Hopefully Fabio will publish his slide decks -- best explanation of Akoma Ntoso I've seen.
  5. #lvi2009 It's actually hard to tweet about technical papers. This one's about Akoma Ntoso.
  6. #lvi2009 Next up: Fabio Vitali presenting a Monica Palmirani paper.
  7. #lvi2009 Openness to 3rd-party value adds distinguishes useful public access from access that is merely symbolic.
  8. #lvi2009 Public law publishers should provide tools enabling commentary & other value adders; wikis; tagging; etc.
  9. #lvi2009 Hospitable and transparent licensing terms are also important to 3rd party value adders.
  10. #lvi2009 Openness to links that are canned searches are a virtue, too.
  11. #lvi2009 "Brain compatible", enduring citation that translates to links and important feature.
  12. #lvi2009. Features enabling value adders: openness to search and linking (eg. openness to google)
  13. #lvi2009 One function of 3rd party annotation is to bridge gap between language of seekers and language of primary law. (TB: see Tiersma)
  14. #LVI2009 NGOs and public bodies don't have resources to put up commentary; they should permit and create third-party annotations. Examples.
  15. #LVI2009 and two more barriers: lack of citators, disconnected collections mounted by disparate bodies not navigable.
  16. #LVI2009 Incompleteness of online collections also a problem.
  17. #lvi2009 Exclusion of public search engines by "open" access providers is also a barrier.
  18. #lvi2009 Second access barrier is public ignorance of jurisdiction -- whose law applies?
  19. #lvi2009 Martin echoes Dabney point about nonlawyers using fact-oriented terms, not legal terminology or terms of art.
  20. #lvi2009 Illustrating barriers to understanding a simple boundary-fence case by searching primary materials.
