Dear all,

I'm working now on represent our amendments with the modification pattern of akoma ntoso, 
Do you have any suggestion on how to represent this kind of modifications, when the "old" element is only an hint and not a specific text:

(1)  In subsection (a), the date specified therein will be replaced by "March 31, 2016" 

  
Best regards,
Naftali

Dear Naftali,

In principle the parts of the official text that are not clearly identifiable are not marked-up for not creating problem of legal interpretation.

However if you want to capture the fragment of the text where the old text is expressed (but in incomplete manner using @incomplete="true"), you can use <span> or <concept> as you like, with @refersTo="#oldFragment".

Additionally if the date is important for the "enter into force" or the "enter into operation", or for the "temporal model" of the legal system, we add also a particular metadata in the <activeModifications><forceMod>.

Here after my proposal of AKN-XML:

<<(1)  In subsection (a), the date specified therein will be replaced by "March 31, 2016" >>
here the fragment proposed

<activeModifications>
                    <textualMod type="substitution" period="#temporalGroup_2" incomplete="true">
                        <source href="#sec_1__mod_1"/>
                        <destination href="#/xxx/sec_xxx__subsec_a"/>
                        <old eId="#concept_1"/>
                    <forceMod type="entryIntoForce" period="#temporalGroup_2">
                        <source href="#sec_1__mod_1"/>
                        <destination href="#/xxx/sec_xxx__subsec_a"/>
                        <force period="#temporalGroup_2"/>
                    </forceMod>
</activeModifications>

            <section>
                <num>(1)</num>
                <content>
                    <p> <mod eId="sec_1__mod_1">In <ref href="">subsection (a)</ref>, the <span refersTo="#oldFragment"
                            eId="date_1">date</span> specified therein will be replaced by
                        "<quotedText eId="sec_1__mod_1_qtd_1"><date date="2016-03-31" refersTo="#efficacyDate">March 31, 2016</date></quotedText>" </mod></p>
                </content>
            </section>

Best regards,
Monica

Thank you very much,

I haven't gotten into the "entry in force" yet, but thanks for the example, this sure will help me in the future.

About the textualMod, how it should look like after manually editing?
the specific date should be entered inside the old element directly, like this example:

<old>
    <il:text>April 1, 2015</il:text>
</old>

Best regards,
Naftali

Dear Naftali,

it is not a good idea to put in the current modificatory document the old text supposed to be in a given moment and not clearly mentioned.
The date (April 1, 2015) could be changed in the middle by extra-events (e.g., constitutional court, other retroactive modifications, etc.).

The "Theory of Law" leads the AKN design and we need to maintain the veracity of the metadata assertions in a legal document. For this reason we don't put information about the destination of the document, if not explicitly included in the official text, because we don't simply know if the destination (especially the text) will change over time.

Best,
Monica

Dear Monica,

Thanks for enlightening me the problematic with that modification.
I think that our team need to talk more about how much officially we want those modification documents to be.
(maybe we will use it internally only for reducing the work on creating the expressions therefore we can be more flexible)

Best regards,
Naftali

Dear Naftali,

it is not a problem of officiality, it is a problem that if you store this data in a given expression you risk to use an information that could be wrong after three steps of versioning.
It is not correct under the technical point of view and the temporal model of the versioning.
It is so true that nobody do so!

Cheers,
Monica
