Customisation of Akoma Ntoso using Schematron

Abstract

Akoma Ntoso, an Oasis Open standard for legal documents, is gaining popularity. Since the standard aims to cover a wide variety of legislative and parliamentary traditions, it is fairly broad and generic. Projects usualy start by customisation of the standard to a local tradition. Such a customisation is usualy achieved by generating a so called subschema through publicaly available tooling. This presentation shows an alternative approach for some common use cases using Schematron instead.
