Abstract
The DALOS Project aims at building an ontological- linguistic resource to be used in the multilingual EU legislative drafting process, as well as in a linguistically reliable national transpositions of EU directives. This paper outlines the design of the ontological-linguistic resource, as well as the main phases carried on for its implementation.
