A knowledge organization system for e-participation in law-making

Abstract

This paper describes the knowledge organization system developed within a project for e-Participation in the EU law-making process. The project aims to build a web platform allowing citizens and other stakeholders to actively participate in the EU law-making by providing comments and amendments, as well expressing sentiments, on pre-legislative documents. The semantic approach follows a pure RDF(S)/ OWL implementation for all the produced contributions (documents, comments, amendments, statistics), with the aim to made them available as Linked Open Data.
