I do intend that most of these tags would only be found in the separate repository installed by Debian-Lex's task.

No this tag is for software for an office administrator of a law firm. But with regard to OpenOffice, I *was* intending to tag this as legal, but this tag will be coming from a separate repository that will only be installed as part of the "Legal" task and therefore won't even be visible to ordinary users. I don't see a problem with that. > > > [Lex] Legal Software : Document Management > > > > Can it be just document-management outside of a "legal" context?

Yes I do think that this "document-management" tag should be in the main vocabulary file rather than in the private Debian-Lex one, since it would have wider application. For example software like Scrollkeeper would fall into this category. So can I make this a request for this tag to be added to the main database? - Tag: document-management Description: Document Management > > > [Lex] Legal Software : Legal Research > > > > Could it be expressed by a combination of "legal" and something related > > to search engines? I suppose so, I can't think off-hand about anything that would be research software that wouldn't involve searching. There isn't anything suitable so far in the main tags database, so what about this to be added to it: Tag: search Description: Tools to extract information from electronic documents > > > [Lex] Legal Software : Legal Systems : Other Legal Systems > > > > What do you mean with "other legal systems"? There is a taxonomy of International legal systems, in countries that inherited the UK legal system (eg. Australia, USA, South Africa, etc.) the system is called "common law", European-derived legal systems are typically described as "civil law", and there are also some other legal systems (such as Muslim law and customary law) that I would lump into the "Other Legal Systems" category. > If you want tags for debian-lex, please design them with this > interpreation in mind: > - maybe add some tag "recommended-for-lex" (but i think tasks should be > used for this, not tags!) > - use some tag "suiteable-for-lex" (or better: "not-suiteable-for-lex", > because there will probably fewer packages that are best-to-be-avoided > here.

I am unsure about "recommended-for-foo" and "suitable-for-foo" tags, this makes tags sound like dependencies, which they're not. Can't I just tag them as "legal" in my private database which won't interfere with non-Debian-Lex users? I don't want OpenOffice.org to be hidden from someone who is looking at Debian-Lex packages in a tags browser. -- JEREMY MALCOLM <Jeremy@Malcolm.id.au> Personal: http://www.malcolm.id.au Providing online networks of Australian lawyers (http://www.ilaw.com.au) and Linux experts (http://www.linuxconsultants.com.au) for instant help!
