eLEGAL
Specifying Legal Terms of Contract in ICT Environment

(IST-1999-20570)
As Clive said, I will now introduce the eLEGAL project, showing the work we are doing at Loughborough (and across Europe), but hopefully giving you some ideas for discussion later.
The eLEGAL Project is part of the European IST Programme.
The Information Society Technologies Programme is a major theme of research and technological development within the European Union's Fifth RTD Framework Programme (1998-2002).
IST is a single, integrated research programme that builds on the convergence of information processing, communications and media technologies. IST has an indicative budget of 3.600 Million Euro, and is managed by the Information Society DG of the European Commission.
The strategic objective of the Information Society Technologies (IST) Programme is to realise the benefits of the information society for Europe both by accelerating its emergence and by ensuring that the needs of individuals and enterprises are met.
