| Research Abstract |
(1) The project developed Bilingual KWIC. The project worked with Chung Cheng University of Taiwan to develop a Taiwan Law database (Chinese-English). The experimental database has been developed and made public. The project and the Ministry of Government Legislation of Korea pursued a joint project to develop a Bilingual KWIC of Korean Law (Korean-English). An experimental database was completed and is shared by the project and the ministry. The basis for comparative analysis of legal concepts in the region of Chinese characters is now ready for use. (2) The project digitalized the Official Gazette (English edition) and the result was published in PDF format. The work to convert the data into searchable data is on-going. The refined data will be used to improve the quality of the standard translation dictionary. (3) The project researched the possibility to support the process (drafting of bills, legislative changes to bills, publication and to amendments) by the information technology and, to integrate the statutory database into this e-legislation system. (4) The project clarified the list of headings to be compared (i.e. legislative history, social context, and so forth) and examined the method to generate compact and relevant annotations to laws. (5) The project began digitalization of Japanese translation of European laws during the late-19^<th> century. The Boassonade Draft of the Japanese Civil Code was digitalized and made public. The minutes of legislative process to amend the Old Civil Code to produce the New Civil Code were digitalized and the work to link the data to each provision is on-going.
