Funded Activity Summary

Peer-to-Peer collaborative research network for sharing and managing digital legal information. The aim of this project is to develop a collaborative research network using P2P technology to allow research across multiple disciplines for an open exchange of information. Current P2P technology only supports general information sharing. This research will investigate how to use P2P technology to incorporate digital rights management and network authentication, and to facilitate existing open access initiatives, traditional scholarly publishing models and emerging research practices. The collaborations between IT and legal industry will be established and expanded significantly in the scope of e-research for sharing legal resources. A P2P prototype will be developed to facilitate legal users and applications.
