OASIS LegalXML Member Section

Special Characteristics of the LegalXML Member Section We are primarily users and consumers, not developers or vendors, of XML products We include large numbers of public sector members We have strong ties to public sector policy making groups We perceive our TCs to be perpetual entities – overseeing and improving standards once they have been developed We have historically been unwilling to promulgate any standards that include private IPR claims

Member Section Mission and Vision Statements Mission Statement The OASIS LegalXML Member Section develops open, non-proprietary technical standards for structuring legal documents and information using XML and related technologies. Vision Statement Courts, lawyers, criminal justice agencies, legislatures, libraries, publishers and other participants in the civil and criminal legal systems use XML standards to maintain and share electronic legal records cheaply, seamlessly and securely.
