Draft Justice Sector Metadata Standards (JSMS)
These draft standards were developed by a range of justice sector agencies in NSW. LawAccess Online adds sites using JSMS to its index to legal web sites in NSW. The Law and Justice Foundation has created a Metadata entry form to automatically create Justice Sector Metadata. Simply enter information about your web page here to create metadata which you can then paste into the header information at the top of your web page. The standards are based on Dublin Core metadata standards and are compliant with the Australian Government Locator Service metadata standards (AGLS). If you would like to know more about the standards, or to find out how to get your site indexed by LawAccess Online please contact Jane Pritchard, LawAccess NSW.
Legal Information Standards Council (no longer in operation)
The Legal Information Standards Council operated between 1997 and 2001. LISC was established by the Law Foundation of NSW and the NSW Law Society in 1997 to promote the development of standards for online legal information. During its existence LISC provided a valuable forum for commercial, non-profit and government legal publishing interests to meet and discuss issues involved in publishing legal information in the online environment.
