Standards

Standards in Legal Information Retrieval

The following is a basic concept of Standards in relation to information retrieval. In addition to this, Standards may be applied to legal texts, including case law, legislation and scholarly works. Standards are codes of practice on which participants in an operational domain agree in order to promote interoperability, efficiency, and improved service. Since the beginning of librarianship, millennia ago, improvements in practice have come about mainly through the development of new and better standards or codes of practice. Scientific research, as a means to study and understand phenomena and thereby improve practice, is a relatively recent innovation that came into librarianship, for the most part, with the advent and popularity of information science, mostly after World War II. Whereas scientific research is based on empirical testing of hypotheses, standards and codes of practice are based on expert opinion.
