WTO law, statutes and regulations, westlaw/lexix

Hi! FIrst of all i have to say i am part of the community of zotero-lovers.

Second, as a lawyer and schoalr, i use a lot legislative sources. I was then wondering if someone is working on ways of adding wto documents and statutes. Or at least if someone has suggestions on how to add correctly references to wto documents.

Third, could someone tell me how things are going with the westlaw/lexis translator?
I am a little bit confused with the threads and posts. And, even though i see the small zotero symbol in some of the lexis and westlaw pages, i am pretty sure they don't work.

If someone needs help, i am not a programmer, but i could help in telling the rules, or testing.

thanks and regards,

C. Mauricio Mirandola

    Mauricio: Very glad to see your note. Improved legal support in Zotero will begin with input into BIBO, a project to build an orderly abstract description of bibliographic data, on which Zotero relies.

    The BIBO project itself is driven by people well versed in RDF syntax (which I am not), but input on the requirements for referencing legal resources from people in the field may be helpful to their efforts. I'm toying with the idea of setting up a layman's list to explore the elements needed for citing legal resources in Zotero, with a view to providing upstream feedback to BIBO. Would you be interested in joining such a discussion?
  • Of course I would!
    Just tell how can I contribute.
    Best,
