This document discusses law-as-code, which involves drafting legal rules in a machine-readable language. It presents several research projects involving law-as-code, including the Hellenic OCR Team project, SmartLegal project, LogLaw, and AKN. The Hellenic OCR Team project involves crowdsourcing the processing and analysis of parliament data from public, private, and academic sectors. SmartLegal uses a reverse engineering approach to model legal rules with software tools to enable digital services. The document provides steps to build a consortium to conduct a proof-of-concept on law-as-code and train an interdisciplinary team to complete the assignment and demonstrator. It includes a semantic representation and visualization of

Hellenic Law 4703 If Public outdoor assembly = false then true else Notification Public outdoor assembly Is the assembly a public outdoor assembly? Public outdoor assembly if rule1 = true and rule2 = true then block1 else false Public outdoor assembly:rule1 Is the assembly of persons to take place in an open, non- enclosed space, on a temporary basis? Public outdoor assembly:rule2 Is the assembly of persons for the same purpose, in particular for joint testimony, presentation of options, formulation of requests of whatever nature, or decisions on them? Public outdoor assembly:block1 if Fixed assembly = true or Moving assembly = true then true else false Notification Has the notification requirement of Article 3 been complied with? Notification If Notice irrelevant = true then true else Article 3 Notice irrelevant Is notification irrelevant for compliance with Article 3? Notice irrelevant If May Day = true or November17 = true then true else false May Day May Day exception? May Day If rule1= true then true else false May Day:rule1 Is the assembly taking place to celebrate May Day? November17 November 17 exception? November17 If rule1= true then true else false
