The Legal Atlas ©: Map-Based Navigation and Accessibility of Legal Knowledge Sources

For many reasons citizens, businesses and civil servants need access to regulations. The traditional approaches to provide access to these regulations are not satisfactory to these users, which have to cope with vast amounts of often interfering regulation. Normal questions like “where can I do this kind of activity” or “is this activity allowed here” are hard to answer in traditional web-based services environments. There are many attempts to create one-stop-shop-front ends to eGovernment, but these are seldom build from the perspective of the user. The Legal Atlas© approach offers an innovative approach, an approach that already has shown to be beneficiary to its users.
