Dear Friends,
Calpp Beta Version 1 has been released and can be downloaded from gborg at ftp://gborg.postgresql.org/pub/calpp/stable/calpp_1.0.0.tar.gz
Calpp: Computer Aided Legal Procedures and Proceedings
Calpp aids in defining legal procedures and executing those procedures as proceedings. Calpp uses Postgresql and PHP to create Calpp powered legal systems. Calpp relies on three tables: procedures -> steps -> particulars to store all details about its procedures, and correspondingly three tables: proceedings -> events -> assertions to store all details about the proceeding. Calpp may also be used in any field where the rules can be listed for execution and application. Calpp powered medicine, Calpp powered surgical procedures, Calpp powered irrigation systems, Calpp powered schools, Calpp powered research and development, Calpp powered story telling and many more Calpp powered systems can be devised for practical use. Calpp is simple, sturdy and stable.
The Calpp project is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
Calpp has several features including:
* Legal procedures are logically and accurately stored and executed as proceedings * All details of the procedures and proceedings can be indexed and viewed from a variety of angles. * A set of data validation, conversion and manipulation functions are available for easy use in proceedings. * Calpp makes rules explicit and we can see what is going on at a glance. * Password authentication to access
This beta release has the minimal set of features required to maintain and run most legal procedures and proceedings with the aid of computers. The word proceedings is used here to mean every use of the law, and any clear set of rules. It concerns all of us. A least complex solution to suit the most complex nature of law has been attempted here. No legal procedures in force are provided for now, but it can be used to create procedures and run them as proceedings. Your interest and participation in the calpp project will shape both Calpp and the way we choose to live.
Regards,
K. Ramanraj.
