The
CLIME Project (P25.414)
Time
1998 - 2001
Goal
February 1998 the ESPRIT project CLIME - "Computerised Legal
Information Management and Explanation" (P25.414) started. The
objective of CLIME is to improve access and understanding of large
bodies of legal information through the internet. These bodies of
information become more and more electronically available and contain
all sorts of legal sources: legislation, cases and legal
doctrine.
To demonstrate the technologies in CLIME we will deliver a
demonstrator called MILE - a Maritime Information and Legal
Explanation system. MILE will be developed in the CLIME project as
self- contained component of the total life-cycle ship management and
information strategy used by a Classification Society. MILE will
allow ship owners/managers to access from their office, or even a
ship, all classification-related regulatory
information specific to their vessels. The information will be
provided by making the information available (to customers) as web
pages on the internet.
