Abstract

The legal exchange of information through Internet requires tools that avoid the distortion of the contents. Language XML allows the creation of systems of computers able to automate parts of the process of document creation and editing (LEXML-LegalXML). This paper analyzes the origin, the evolution and the current situation of the XML in the legal area. In fact, we analyze this language as a security tool, emphasizing in the non proprietary function, and the interoperability between legal systems. European model, LEXML, will be reviewed and compared with the USA one, LegalXML; their common objective is the creation of a dictionary from schemes developed by OASIS. The conclusions will show that there are different communities, states or institutions that are developing the schemes based on XML and elaborating similar standards that progressively will be integrated in a general scheme (RDF).
