Cross-border Multilingual Search for Legislation

Project Goals

This project is part of a larger project Cross-Border Digital Services (CBDS) programme, financed by the Nordic Council of Ministers. The project brings together leading voices and experts from the digitally advanced Nordic and Baltic countries to address the current and future state of digital connectivity and cross-border mobility in Europe. Our joint work with the Finnish Ministry of Justice in the project focuses on the versatile use of the Nordic and Baltic legal databases with the goal of introducing a Proof-of-Concept of a joint search interface for Nordic and Baltic legislative databases.

The Proof-of-Concept demonstrator under development

utilises two different legal databases, the Estonian Riigi Teataja and Finnish Finlex, re-using the Lawsampo system as a platform. The solution is based on using Linked Open Data.
