credit
• Manual available as e-book (in Greek)
• End-to-end training
• Digital laboratory vs. standard course
• Full title: “Laboratory for legislative drafting
and the processing of regulatory texts” Interoperability manual
front page (Fitsilis, 2020)

IMPLEMENTATION • Theoretical and practical aspects of
(legal) interoperability
• Teaching blocks:
1. Ontologies & standards
2. Legal informatics in practice
3. Methodology of legislative drafting
• Tool: LEOS - Legislation Editing Open
Software (an ISA2 solution)
• Goal: drafting of a Greek presidential
decree (proedrikó diátagma)
13.
TEACHING CHALLENGES
• Technical language
• Embedding in a wider framework
• Conduct an online lab
• Choice of the case study
• Selection of the set of tools
• Installation & parameterization
• Proof of concept
• Capture metrics and lessons
learned
• Offering diploma theses (0/3)
• Missing institutional support
14.
EVALUATION
• Overall: 100% of users described LEOS as ‘good’ or ‘very good’
• User experience: 90% of users perceived tool handling as ‘good’
• Legislative drafting: 78% thinks LEOS can provide high added value to
it
• Tool configuration: mixed feelings…
15.
…AND NOW?
CONCLUSIONS
• Interoperability lab successfully
organized and conducted
• LEOS interesting as authoring
tool for public administrations
• High entry barriers: open source
and still in the development
pipeline
FOLLOW UP
• Basis for development of linked
interoperability labs and courses
• Proof of concept for a wider pilot
• Engage stakeholders and create
a community
