Contents▪ Inspiration
– Better Rules -concept (NZ)
▪ Background & foundation– National EIF-implementation: "Interoperability method and platform"
▪ Development of Legal Editor– Presentation of project scope and implemented features
▪ Future development– Creation of data models (application profiles) based on linked terms– Creation of Rules as Code based on the annotated Acts of Law

Adoption of the Better Rules -concept (NZ)
• All aspects of the BR-concept somewhat familiar
• Focusing primarily on achieving semantic interoperability
• Defining relevant concepts• Referring to a
global/national/domain -specific ontology
• Retaining the reference to the ontology-concepts in all versions of the rules
• Future development will include the "Rules as Code" part of the concept (checkered-line)

Interoperability Method and PlatformBriefly explained…
• Concepts defined in Terminologies
• Referred to in reusable Classes, Attributes and Associations (Data Models)
• Possibility to link to equivalent artifacts in international reference data models
• Re-used & specialized in case-specific Application Profiles
• Published in developer-friendly formats (OpenAPI 3.0, JSON Schema, JSON-LD, RDF…)
• Governance model for all produced artifacts(national, domain & organiza-tional level)

Legal Editor development project (01-10/2020)▪ Creating a tool for the drafting of structured legislative bills (acts)
– A user-friendly editor > simplified structure (XML-schema)
▪ Enabling the linking of terms in governmental bill drafts to concepts published on the Interoperability Platform – Search and linking functions supporting the drafter (only relevant concepts)
▪ Integration of the Law Editor as a seamless part of the law drafting process– Common government level Case Management system; transformation into
XML format of Finnish Parliament
▪ Linking of terms (concepts) to classes and attributes in the published national core vocabularies– Example shown > slide 7
