Workpackages

To reach the objectives of the DALOS project, six strongly interlinked work packages (WPs) have been shaped around the mission critical activities of bringing it forward towards a successful implementation of the system and measurable tests.

WP1 - Management and coordination

WP leader: CNR-ITTIG

Objectives

  • Coordinating relationships between partners of the Consortium, ensuring timely transfer of specifications, tools etc. between WPs;
  • Monitoring and tracking progress advancement in the project (schedules, milestones, deliverables), resource allocation and spending;
  • Swift resolution of unexpected problems, ensure Project plan refinements if needed;
  • Handling administration and financial management of the project;
  • Organising and lead project meetings.

WP2 - Analysis and specification of the system

WP leader: CNR-ITTIG

Objectives

  • Analysis of the legislative production scenarios;
  • Analysis of the linguistic and ontological resources produced by the LOIS project;
  • Selection of the domain/s of interest at European level to implement the linguistic-ontological resource;
  • Macro design: KOS (Knowledge Organization System) and detailed functional description of the application modules;
  • Micro design: convert the functional specifications, the KOS and the application architecturedesign into detailed technical specifications, limited for the prototype of the system.

WP3 - Text Knowledge Extraction and Connection to the Ontology

WP leader: CNR-ILC

Objectives

  • To develop a term extraction and ontology learning tool in order to enrich the linguisticontological resource produced by the LOIS project;
  • To define the polices of updating of the linguistic-ontological resource;
  • To measure the results of the learning procedure for the prototype, giving statistics on updated terms and concepts.

WP4 - Implementation of prototypical services

WP leader: CELI

Objectives

  • To implement the prototype of the system, namely
    • the linguistic-ontological resource, derived from the LOIS project, according to the standard specifications defined within WP2;
    • the APIs for the access (querying and updating) to such resource;
    • the service according to the modalities of use as identified within WP2 (stand-alone, distributed environment).

WP5 - Test and Evaluation

WP leader: Leibniz Center for Law – Univ. Amsterdam (Uva)

Objectives

  • To define the quality indicators for legislative texts;
  • To establish the test modalities and the parameters for the evaluation;
  • To test and to validate the service.

WP6 - Dissemination and Exploitation

WP leader: European University Institute

Objectives

  • To prepare the foundation for a sustainable venture on the basis of the project results;
  • To establish an agreement among partners and others possible entities to carry on the venture;
  • To raise the awareness of the venture especially among public administrations and service providers for public administrations.
