XML-based standards and Regulatory Agencies

LegalXML

LegalXML produces standards for electronic court filing, court documents, legal citations, transcripts, criminal justice intelligence systems, and others. UltraXML has all the required features to support the authoring and publishing of LegalXML data.

LegalXML was founded in November 1998 as a non-profit organization to bring legal and technical experts together to create standards for the electronic exchange of legal data.

In March, 2002 the standards group LegalXML joined the OASIS interoperability consortium, in a move that aligns the development of specifications for legal data exchange with the global standards community at-large.

The OASIS LegalXML Member Section will continue this work to serve as an open forum for the legal domain to share ideas and experiences associated with XML and related core standards. LegalXML participants include lawyers, developers, application vendors, government agencies and members of academia.
