In the third meeting, the working group discussed indexation vis-à-vis<br />

common metadata representing indexation. to introduce the aspects of indexation,<br />

a presentation of the Eurovoc system as a multilingual thesaurus for<br />

the indexation of legislation was given by the Publications Ofice. During the<br />

discussion the usefulness was clearly underlined, but it was also stated that<br />

Eurovoc in its current version does not cover all domains of national legislation,<br />

but concentrates on European needs. many working group members<br />

were surprised at how time-consuming a proper and thorough indexation is,<br />

both regarding the time spent on every document and the overheads covering<br />

training of staff and administration of the thesaurus.<br />

the discussion inspired the delegation from the Czech Republic to propose<br />

a comprehensive examination of the issue of automatic indexation of<br />

legislation within the working group. It was, however, decided that the issue<br />

was beyond the scope of the XmL working group, but so interesting and potentially<br />

useful that the chair of the European forum of Oficial Gazettes proposed<br />

the foundation of a new working group concerned with automatic indexation<br />

of legislation.<br />

2.4. Contact with other working groups<br />

two of the forum’s working groups cover issues that are of interest to the<br />

XmL working group, and it was decided to contact them concerning<br />

authentiication and data capturing. the aim of these contacts was to give<br />

knowledge to the other working groups so that they could take the XmL dimension<br />

into account during their work.<br />

Regarding the working group on ‘Data capturing at the source’, two questions<br />

were asked.<br />

• Is it feasible to introduce XmL in data capturing at the source?<br />

• If so, what are the means?<br />

Regarding the working group on ‘Electronic publication of legislation:<br />

methods of authentiication of the texts’, attention was drawn to two aspects<br />

of XmL and authentiication.<br />

• If XmL is chosen as the master document in the production of the electronic<br />

legal gazette, what is the legal status of the master document? Is the<br />

XmL master document the authentic document or is it the XmL document<br />

combined with the presentation?<br />

• what are the possibilities for authentiication in the XmL world?<br />
