  • Patent number: 12639510
    Abstract: A legislative code versioning system that overcomes various technical deficiencies is described herein. For example, the system can allow users to see which specific updates to a printable copy of a legislative code have occurred since the creation of that printable copy. A computer-readable address that, when read by a computing device, links the computing device to a digital version of the printable copy may be embedded into the publication. The digital version can be depicted in a content page in a network-accessible publication format that displays redlines, annotations, markings, or other representations of change that track differences between two or more versions of the legislative code. Alternatively or in addition, the same or a separate embedded CRA can, when read, link a user device to an unmarked publication of the legislative code.

  • Patent number: 11042692
    Abstract: An artificial intelligence-based legislative code validation and publication system is described herein. For example, the legislative code validation and publication system can be implemented within a user device, a network-accessible server, or a combination thereof. The legislative code validation and publication system can include a plug-in, add-on, extension, or other component that causes an enhanced text editor to support additional functionality. In particular, the plug-in causes the enhanced text editor to generate structure-based markup language code as text is entered, provide auto-complete features, and/or validate the generated structure-based markup language code according to a jurisdiction's style guide. The legislative code validation and publication system can then modify the markup language code to include codification annotations, thereby forming annotated markup language code.
