Ρουφιάνοι ή Μαχητές του Δημοσίου Συμφέροντος;

Δεν περνά μέρα που να μην διαβάζουμε για άλλη μια περίπτωση διαφθοράς ή παραβατικής συμπεριφοράς. Από τα εξοπλιστικά προγράμματα έως το λαθρεμπόριο καυσίμων και από τις ΜΚΟ μέχρι τα ανορθόδοξα δάνεια των τραπεζών προς μεγαλόσχημους, υπάρχει ένα κοινό σημείο. Ποιο είναι αυτό; Μα φυσικά το γεγονός, ότι δεκάδες πρόσωπα, εργαζόμενοι είχαν γνώση αλλά σιώπησαν.

A Case for “Open Source” Law?

The law applies universally, and, therefore, has to be “executed” by all members of society; however, it is written in a language (a “code”) that is understood only by experts. We believe that this discrepancy is problematic. Furthermore, what is perhaps equally problematic is that lawmakers have difficulty receiving input from the members of society on how laws are performing. Toward addressing these problems, in this article, we advocate the creation of Lawpedia, a knowledge system based on the peer-production paradigm where laws are explained in plain language and feedback about the laws is gathered as one coherent input to the lawmakers and governments.
