Internet publication of Geneva justice decisions, powered by Perl - Laurent Dami
Friday, The Camel Room, 1010, 20 mins

Since the beginning of 2006, decisions of some Geneva justice courts are made accessible to the public and to lawyers at URL http://justice.geneve.ch/jurisprudence. This is fully powered by a Perl and mod_perl infrastructure, performing tasks such as document conversions, content analysis, automatic cross-references, fulltext indexing and boolean searches.

The talk will present the architecture, and will also briefly mention some difficulties encountered in advocating Perl internally for major enterprise developments.
