Summary

The law should be ‘computable’, in order to make retrieval and analysis easier. Computable law takes aspects of law, which are implicit in legal texts, and aims to model them as data, rules, or forms which are amenable to computer processes. Laws should be labelled with computable structural data to permit advanced computational processing and legal analysis.
