9. 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

12. 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

13. 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
