Bungeni - Parliamentary Information System was presented at the parallel session "Systems for managing the life cycle of legislative documentation" of the World e-Parliament Conference 2009 in Washington DC. The presentation covered Bungeni bill processing highlighting the amendments, annotations processes and how this can be done by the different stakeholders in the cycle of the bill. The presentation also highlighted the MPs , Clerk and Speaker's work flows in developing and processing the different parliamentary content such as motions, questions, and supporting Committee work.
One of the upcoming feature additions to the Bungeni Editor is integration with the eXist XML repository. This will allow a unified workflow where documents are marked up transformed to Akoma Ntoso XML and posted to the XML db.
Along with this upgrade, several functional and usability improvements were made to the editor. This includes a new document type that was added to the supported document types for the Editor – the 'judgement' document type.
