Abstract
Among the recent initiatives in the context of the Italian e-Leges program, which concerns the exploitation of IT technologies for the life-cycle management of laws and related documents, there is the design and implementation of a cooperative system supporting the processes underlying the drafting and the publication of laws. In this paper we describe the architecture of such a system, referred to as x-Leges, highlighting its peer-to-peer architecture. The x-Leges system guarantees (i) autonomy of all involved organizations, (ii) the reuse of information stored in legacy systems and (iii) efficient process support and analysis.
