Use case centric approach Check use case’s legislation Regulation: use described data definitions Directive: use described data definitions Check repository of data definitions Use highly accepted and adapted Develop specific data definitions Least preferred option Checked by or developed with for example SEMIC.EU and ISA Repository of data definitions easily accessible Promote reuse of data definitions in EU-legislation Enable interoperability in the European community

Long Term Strategy Key findings year 1 e-CODEX WP6 All legislation seems to define its own semantics Small Claims differs from EPO Contradictions in legal semantics do exist: WP6 has to overcome these contradictions Basic legal concepts like ‘claimant’, ‘defendant’, ‘legal representation’, ‘decision’ and ‘court’ have to be analyzed and modeled for each use case Regulations Small Claims and EPO come with loosely structured forms

Long Term Strategy II Develop Core Legal Concepts according to DIGIT’s methodology for ISA Core Vocabularies A ‘Core Concept’ is a simplified data model that captures the minimal, global characteristics/attributes of an entity in a generic, country- and domain-neutral fashion Introduction of domain/document model

Long Term Strategy III An example from the Small Claims use case Directly identified concept Deduced concept Core Vocabulary or Core Legal Concept (draft) Consumer   Person Rental  Transaction (before, start, during and after) Legal Act Car rental company Business Company’s office Location Damage Employee Vehicle Credit card Sum Claim Country Nationality Car/vehicle Transaction (before, start, during and after) Legal act Geographic location
