Open Legislative Data in Paris II – Time has come for Law Tracking

As websites providing users with various data concerning their parliament are multiplying worldwide, as the digital revolution challenges the fundamentals of the representative regimes, the Law Factory Team, a French group composed of hacktivists (Regards Citoyens) and academics (Centre d’études européennes & médialab Sciences Po) holds an international conference to examine how IT technologies and the web can help understand or improve parliamentary procedures. The aim of the conference is to:

   – Discuss, present and compare the latest developments regarding law tracking, i.e. the visualization and analysis of the legislative procedure through computer analysis
   – Gather and mix two communities that rarely communicate: the academic world of legislative studies and individuals and organizations from across the open data and parliamentary informatics spectrum
