Furore - Costiera amalfitana (Napoli)

Nei giorni 6-7-8 aprile a Furore (Costa d’Amalfi), si è tenuto il 3rd Workshop on legislative xml, organizzato dal CNIPA, a cui hanno partecipato esponenti di alcuni paesi europei (Austria, Danimarca, Irlanda, Italia, Olanda, Svizzera) impegnati su progetti concreti di utilizzo di xml per la rappresentazione di documenti normativi.
L’attenzione è stata focalizzata non solo sulle novità relative ai progetti già presentati durante i precedenti incontri (in Svizzera e Danimarca), ma anche sui nuovi contributi, tra cui quello del Parlamento irlandese e quello delle Nazioni Unite sul progetto "Strengthening Parliaments’ Information Systems in Africa", a cui partecipa anche l’Italia sia con finanziamenti destinati alla cooperazione internazionale, sia con un supporto di consulenza fornito dalla Camera dei Deputati e dal CNIPA.
L’incontro ha quindi arricchito il bagaglio di esperienze nel campo del legislative xml con nuovi contenuti, stimolando così un proficuo confronto.

The 3rd Workshop on legislative xml, organized by CNIPA, has been held in Furore, Costa d’Amalfi, from April 6th to 8th 2005. Exponents from some European countries (Austria, Denmark, Ireland, Italy, The Netherlands, Switzerland), currently involved in concrete projects on the use of xml for the representation of legal documents, have participated to the event.
The attention has been focused on both the upgrades of the on going projects presented during the former editions of the workshop (in Switzerland and Denmark), and the new contributions by the Irish Parliaments and the United Nations’ project “Strengthening Parliaments’ Information Systems in Africa” to which Italy participates with financial support to the international cooperation and consulting support by Chamber of Deputies and CNIPA.
The sharing of experiences in legislative xml field have been enriched with new contents by the workshop, and this promotes a profitable comparison.
