Abstract: |
Retrieval of legal information, in particular legal literature, is examined in conjunction with the creation of a Portal to Italian legal doctrine. Subject searching is a major requirement for Italian legal literature users and a solution is described for the retrieval of legal literature's resources. Such solution is based on the exploitation of Dublin Core (DC) metadata for both data coming from structured repositories and for web documents, as well as the use of a controlled vocabulary list prepared for accessing indexed papers of the DoGi database. Technical specifications are illustrated, as well as benefits and limitations of such solution. |
