Advancing an Open Access Publication Model for Legal Information Institutes

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 7639))

Abstract

In this paper we propose an Open Access model for Legal Information Institutes (LIIs) publications in three steps: Accredited Public Archival (APA), Comment-Open Publication (COP) and peer reviewed Publication (PRP). This raises some ethical and legal issues on privacy and intellectual property which cannot be ignored. We would like to foster dialogue and discussion as the unique means to create an interactive framework among research communities, LIIs and users.
