Legal metadata interchange framework to match CEN metalex

ABSTRACT

This paper presents a legal metadata interchange framework for adding semantics on top of the CEN Metalex standard. Indeed for exploiting its potentialities CEN Metalex needs to be enriched with a legal document ontology and moreover to an intermediate layer called LMIF for managing in automatic way the mapping between different local metadata on the general structural layer.
