Main Agenda: Publishing 5-Star Linked Data for Tax, Legal & Regulatory Publishers

• 31-May-2012, Publishing Industry Guest Speaker John Barker, Wolters Kluwer

Per John Barker, VP Wolters Kluwer Global Platform Organization, "Digital aggregation is challenging because government sources of law, including legislative, judicial, and executive branches of government, make their data available in different formats according to their own schedules. If these different government entities could make their data available using uniform standards, private publishers would be able to aggregate primary sources of law more quickly. Of course, that would mean that explanations, linking, and topical organization could occur more quickly."
