This a minor release of Akoma Ntoso with some additions and bug fixes drawn from discussions held at the Ravenna Legislative XML Summer School in September 2011.
Africa i-Parliament Action Plan, an UN/DESA project meant to support African parliaments in the deployment of ICTs to increase the quality of parliamentary services and civil society participation in the parliamentary process, has recently published a major release of Akoma Ntoso XML standard for parliamentary, legislative and judiciary documents.
The Africa i-Parlaiment Action Plan in the last two weeks hosted parliaments from Portuguese and East African countries in Nairobi to discuss issues around localising the Bungeni Parliamentary information System and the Akoma Ntoso standards to the specific requirements of countries present.
The Africa i-Parliament Action Plan is pleased to announce the convening of a workshop to localise the Bungeni Parliamentary Information System and Akoma Ntoso Standards to the requirements of the different Portuguese speaking parliaments in Africa.
Bungeni Parliamentary Information System was presented at the UK Parliament where members of staff from the Parliament ICT, Hansard Section, Information Management and Table Departments had the opportunity to appreciate the key features of the information system.
