Legislative XML Data Mapping Results
You may recall last September (2013) when I posted: Legislative XML Data Mapping [$10K], which was a challenge to convert documents encoded in U.S. Congress and U.K. Parliament markup into Akoma Ntoso.
There were five (5) entries and two (2) winners.
The first place winner reports:
The included web application, an instance of which is running at akoma-ntoso.appspot.com, converts documents to Akoma Ntoso in response to common HTTP requests. Visit the app with a web browser, enter the URL of the source XML into the form, and the app responds with an Akoma Ntoso representation of the source document. Requests can even be made without a browser by passing the source document’s URL directly as the “source” parameter, e.g.,
But I was unable to find the files with the includes .xsl transforms.
The second place winner reports the use of Perl scripts that can be found at: http://ec2-50-112-47-161.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/xml-akoma-ntoso/XML-AkomaNtoso-0.1.tar.gz
I was unable to find any formal comparison of the entries. Perhaps you will have better luck.
And I am curious, if you encountered a “converted” form of a U.S. or U.K. statute, would you be able to faithfully reconstruct the original?
