Description

The invention relates to automated information retrieval systems that have databases of thematic as well as databases of other reference data that allow finding documents, texts on issues of interest, legislative documents and comments on them, versions of documents in their chronological and / or other change, as well as allowing you to enter documents on the practice of applying legislative documents and documents related to problematic issues and deficiencies in regulatory legal regulation for ia analytical processing and making adjustments in order to optimize legislative acts and bring them to effectiveness in the conditions of social relations and relations of subjects. The invention considers an analytical system for collecting and analyzing information that can be used in the search for deficiencies in the legislation.

A known system for collecting and searching documents and updating data in documents (document version search system), containing text databases, a processor, a query generation unit, a playback unit, a search unit that selects the requested information upon request in the databases. At the same time, the databases are compiled using the search and update blocks, the control unit transmits data to the database, including information showing the erasure of the updated data (US 4821175, 11.04.89, G06F 15/40).

The well-known system does not provide the user with all the necessary information on legal issues, on issues related to economic or other economic activities, the regulation of which is also related to issues of law and legal legislation. The system does not provide the user with operational information related to a specific situation, and information on different versions of documents depending on their changes over time, or making comments on these documents.

Known reference legal storage and search system, containing databases associated with the processor, a unit for conducting a search by request, a request generation unit and a playback unit connected via information and control buses to the processor and databases, while the databases contain a database of legal information and a database of economic information associated with the processor buses, a search query generating unit is connected to a reproducing unit associated with the on-demand search unit, the database is legal This information includes a database of texts on judicial and arbitration practice, a database of texts of comments on legislation, a database of texts of draft laws and a database of international treaties connected by appropriate buses; a database of economic information, which includes the memory of the forms of documents, the memory of the texts of business references and the memory of the tax calendar data associated with the corresponding tires. The system also contains a database of texts of new documents, a database of statistical data on the bases of the system, connected by tires. The system contains a database of versions of documents included in the database of legal information, and a database of economic information (RU 10901, G06F 17/60, 7/06, publ. 16.08.1999).

In the known system it is not possible to change the search mode depending on additional information owned by the expert, which significantly increases the search time for the necessary information. The system does not provide data refinements during the search in order to provide information that is closest to the question of interest to the user.

In addition, each of the listed automated systems for collecting and searching for collected information (documents), in fact, is a well-known architecture used for any system for collecting and issuing documents, and therefore has limited use and limited capabilities. In fact, such a system is a repository of thematically consolidated information, which is used only to quickly obtain by keyword or words or other identifiers the necessary document or the necessary information that was previously entered into the database (drive) of this repository. Such a system is configured to use quick search devices using filters and other mechanisms that allow you to quickly extract the desired document or a series of documents related to each other according to certain criteria from the drive.

So, for example, in RU 2223537, G06F 17/63, G06F 17/40, publ. 07/20/2003, the part of the reference legal system for storing and searching data is described, which is responsible for the application of the developed search mechanism, which constructively contains a search type selection block, a query generator, one output of which is connected to the search block, the input-output of which is connected via the corresponding buses to system databases, a display unit and a controller for managing data search, characterized in that a search condition selection unit is introduced into the system, the input of which is connected to the output of the selection unit in the form search, the first output is connected to the input of the query shaper, the second output is connected to the input of the filter attribute shaper, the first input-output of which is connected to the second input-output of the query shaper, the second input-output - to the filter attribute memory block, the first input-output of the query shaper connected to the request memory block. In this system, the database of the system is a database of legal information and / or a database of economic information, a database of the encyclopedia of situations, and / or a database of an explanatory dictionary, and / or a database of recent changes in legislation.

Moreover, the search type selection unit is configured to navigate databases with phased presentation of lists of requested documents and / or document fragments. The system may include a means for sorting documents, which is designed to sort documents by the date of publication of the documents or by legal force.

Such a system provides high-speed access to legal literature (legislation) and allows you to quickly "pull out" the desired document and quickly sort it from a number of other documents that have similar identification features.

Despite the advantages, no known document collection and storage system can be used as a basic tool for identifying problematic issues and deficiencies in the legal regulation of the activities of state authorities and non-governmental associations and updating legislation in order to bring it into effect in relations between state entities.

An attempt to create such a new automated system is reflected in RU 2008102077, G06Q 90/00, publ. 07/27/2009. This source refers to an automated analytical information system for monitoring regulatory legal acts and law enforcement practice, which contains a block for collecting and processing proposals for improving legislation, a block with dissertation research and analytical materials, a block for searching and analyzing legal defects, and a block - forum. The system implements a model for the collection and processing of information to improve legislation, the result of which is a complete reliable picture of the list of regulatory legal acts subject to cancellation, development or amendment.

However, this system is presented at the level of statement of the problem and does not contain a technical implementation showing the possibility of achieving a result.

This decision was made as a prototype for the claimed facility. The present invention is aimed at achieving a technical result, which consists in increasing the efficiency and expanding functionality by providing the possibility of forming a database on problematic issues and correcting the legislative norm based on an analysis of these issues, taking into account existing law enforcement practice.

The specified technical result is achieved by the fact that the system for the analytical identification of problematic issues in the legal regulation contains a block with databases that include at least the base “State Legislation”, the base “Legal Acts”, the base “Foreign Legislation”, the base “Regional Legislation” ”, The base“ Judicial practice ”, the base“ Theses and researches ”, the base“ Reviews, articles, publications ”, the base“ Legal consultations ”, containing the selection of documents related to the topics listed above h and having identification features for their detection and presentation on a monitor in electronic format, a unit for inputting said documents into a database, configured to translate a document on paper or machine-readable medium into electronic format with assignment of identification features and distribution to the specified databases, loading unit documents from the database block, selected according to the general criterion for the coincidence of identification features, which is connected to a central server configured to connect with computerized means of users for displaying downloaded documents on the screens of their monitors and which is configured to provide a search engine for generating a request in a request processing unit associated with a central server, a first user registration unit configured to store user data with their access codes to the unit with databases and the scope of rights for this access, which is connected with the central server and with the request processing unit for allocation of authorized the access channel for the user after identifying him when connecting to the central server, a second third-party user registration unit configured to store user data and to deny access to the database unit, which is connected to the central server to represent reception from this categories of users of proposals and transferring them to the block for collecting proposals sent in free access from computerized means of users, performed with the function registering the proposal and identifying the sender and transferring this proposal to the block for grouping proposals by thematic nature or subject matter and transferring the bundled packages of these proposals to the analytical processing unit to compare the questions reflected in the proposals with the legal norms of their regulation and with documents from the database block to form a conclusion .

These features are significant and are interconnected with the formation of a stable set of essential features sufficient to obtain the desired technical result.

The present invention is illustrated by a specific example of execution, which, however, is not the only possible, but clearly demonstrates the possibility of achieving the desired technical result.

figure 2 - the functioning algorithm of the module "Analytical processing" in the system of collecting legal information and its analysis to identify problematic issues and shortcomings of legal regulation.

According to the present invention, the development of a multi-level geographically distributed automated analytical information system for collecting, processing, accumulating and analyzing information to identify problematic issues and deficiencies in the regulatory legal framework for the activities of state authorities and non-governmental associations, the practice of applying the legislation of the Russian Federation and international treaties is considered. Such a system consists of a set of interconnected and interacting functional modules designed to work with legal information. Each module provides the implementation of a specific information process, system management functions, and other processes related to the processing of information in the system.

In the general case, the invention considers a system for collecting legal information and analyzing it to identify problematic issues and deficiencies in legal regulation, which contains:

- a block with databases, including at least the base “Legislation of the state”, the base “Legal acts”, the base “Judicial practice”, the base “Foreign legislation”, the base “Regional legislation”, the base “Theses and studies”, the base “Reviews, articles of publication”, the base “Legal advice”, containing a selection of documents related to the topics of the listed databases and having identification features for their detection and presentation on a monitor in electronic format;

- a unit for inputting said documents into a database, performed with a function of translating a document on paper or machine-readable medium into electronic format with assignment of identification features and distribution to said databases;

- a document loading unit from a database unit selected according to a common criterion for matching identification features, which is connected to a central server configured to connect users to computerized means for displaying downloaded documents on their screens and which is configured to provide a search engine for generating a request in the request processing unit associated with the central server;

- a user registration unit, configured to store user data with their access codes to the database unit and the amount of rights to this access, which is connected to the central server and to the request processing unit to allocate an authorized access channel for the user after identification when connecting with a central server;

- a unit for registering users of the category of third parties made with the function of storing data about users and with the function of denying access to the unit with databases, which is connected to the central server to represent the possibility of receiving offers from this category of users and transmitting them to the collection unit;

- a block for collecting proposals sent in free access from computerized means of users, performed with the function of registering a proposal and identifying the sender and transmitting this proposal to a block for grouping offers by thematic nature or purpose and transferring grouped packages of these offers to an analytical processing unit for comparing reflected in proposals of questions with legal norms of their regulation and with documents from the database block to form a conclusion .

The functional architecture of the system for collecting legal information and its analysis to identify problematic issues and shortcomings of regulatory legal regulation is presented in figure 1. The system includes a set of interconnected modules, each of which is configured to implement an independent function based on information coming from other modules associated with it. Module 1 “Downloading data from external sources” is connected with databases 2, these databases can be outside the system structure or be included in this structure. In any case, when the user is in a menu with a name, for example, “Base Selection”, he can mark those information storages in which the document supposedly meets his request is located. Databases 2 include the base “Legislation of the State”, the base “Legal Acts”, the base “Foreign Legislation”, the base “Regional Legislation”, the base “Judicial Practice”, the base “Theses and Research”, the base “Reviews, articles of publication” , Legal Advice Base, etc. Such databases are formed by directed input of information with encoding or assignment of a set of identification features to each document, which makes it possible to identify this document both by specific details and bibliographic data, and by code words using cross-references and other generally accepted markings due to the search mechanism used in system. Entering such documents can be carried out in a centralized form (through an appropriate structure that selects documents on any medium and translates it into the language of the system and places it in the appropriate database drive 2) or such documents can come from different sources and departments in a pre-prepared form and in a unified form. For example, when a dissertation is submitted to the depository or a dissertation abstract is sent to a specialized library, an electronic copy of this document can be transferred in the established manner to database 2. Naturally, the receipt of such documents from external sources requires processing with a description of the identification features used in the system.

Downloading documents from databases 2 is carried out at the request of user 3 (a computerized tool at the workplace, which is a computer 4 with a monitor equipped with appropriate software that allows you to display menus with access modes, or a portable portable computer tool such as a laptop or handheld) with module 5 “Arrays of documents”, whose function is to output to the virtual field selected and associated documents from database 2 at the request of ator, which is transmitted in the "Request Processing" module 6. This array of selected documents is displayed on the screen of the user’s monitor 3.

Users can access the system, in particular, module 6, “Request Processing,” and the associated module 5, “Document Arrays,” with the permission and control of module 7, “System Administration,” which is associated with module 8, “Dictionaries, list of users, rights access. " To ensure access to the system as a whole, the user must register, obtain access codes and access conditions, which include the scope of rights granted and a list of database items that may be available to the user. Upon entering the system, the user, after entering access codes, receives permission to use those document databases from databases 2 and to the extent that is recorded as his right in module 8.

Module 7 allows you to authenticate users to access the search interface based on recognition by the system of user names and passwords set and maintained by an external account source (LDAP directories). In order to use this mechanism, the ability to connect to these external systems is supported. When the system authenticates external users through the established connection, it is possible to use the notation of users (user groups) to configure security at the library level for authenticated users. For libraries (databases) that provide for the storage of documents in the file system, the ability to delimit user access at the level of an individual document is supported.

Thus, the system fully meets the requirements for general-purpose information and reference systems, since in this part it is built on the well-known principle of forming electronic reference systems based on libraries and the mechanism for searching and retrieving documents. This system uses a well-known search engine that provides three different search mechanisms (advanced search, contextual search and requisite search) (for example, given in the prototype).

A feature of this system is also that the system provides the collection and processing of proposals for improving legislation and law enforcement practice in the field of internal affairs: for example, entering proposals at all levels, accumulating received data arrays on the server, reviewing proposals, changing the status of proposals, creating automatic reports on the proposals received, providing feedback on the means of notification. In addition, a communicative function has been introduced into the system: a forum, the creation of proposals in the forum that are mandatory for discussion.

Both registered user 3 and user 9 unregistered in the system (third party) have the ability to communicate through the system server with module 10 “Collection and processing of offers”, the function of which is to accept, in the general manner, letters from third parties (with registration of sender data) and ensuring a hierarchical multi-level process for entering and processing proposals for improving legislation. These files in the given form of their presentation from this module receive module 11 “Suggestions for improvement”, in which they are grouped according to a general topic or direction, sorted by specific issues and belonging to a specific legal norm, etc. As a result, all proposals are automatically laid out “in piles by affiliation or attachment” to a specific legislative norm or are assigned to the category to be laid out on the discussion form, or are excluded as not related to the system as a whole in accordance with its purpose (with the obligatory notification of a third party in feedback mode).

Module 12 “Analytical processing” is intended for the analysis of proposals coming from module 11, comparing their semantic content with the legislative norm in respect of which these proposals were received from third parties, evaluating the comparison with law enforcement practice and drawing conclusions sent to module 13 “Maintaining legal -technical information ”, the function of which is to provide management of semantic networks and taxonomies (module 14“ Multilevel classifiers, semantic networks ”), according to which All documents are categorized and classified in accordance with the structure of building databases 2 and a description of the documents based on their characteristics. Module 12 is connected with module 5 for extracting documents from databases 2 during analytical processing of documents received from third parties. The algorithm of this module is presented in figure 2.

This improvement allows for a centralized process of searching for defects in law: identifying obsolete norms, gaps in law, conflicts of law, incompleteness, inaccuracy, or general wording of a legal norm that does not cover the entirety of life situations, without further elaboration and concretization in this or another normative legal act, the presence of public relations (not subject to legal regulation), the need to transfer them to the framework of a legal matured, organizational and technical error maintaining regulatory legal acts regulating the sphere of internal affairs in a control state, legal norms formulated in international treaties and agreements, not supported by the relevant regulatory requirements of national legislation at the level of federal law, a decree of the President of the Russian Federation, a resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation, departmental regulatory legal acts , public relations, the need for transferring them to the legal framework is ripe, the lack of the mechanism for implementing the existing rule of law, federal legislation that provides framework regulation of the sphere of internal affairs, not specified by the relevant norms of legislative acts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, by-laws of the federal level, regulatory legal acts not brought into compliance with the decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation Federation, other courts to which cases of contesting regulatory legal acts, recognition and x invalid (analytical unit of the system).

The presented system for collecting and processing information operates as follows: users of the system at the territorial level provide proposals for improving legislation. Experts at the level of the parent organization review these proposals and decide on the development of a normative legal act or rejection of proposals. Further, in the block containing dissertation research and analytical materials, a search is carried out for specialists in the field of interest, to develop an appropriate regulatory legal act. In the analytical unit, experts identify legal defects by examining the entire array of regulatory legal acts in force in the Russian Federation. Then, specific proposals for improving the legislation are made in the proposal block and then, in the block of dissertations and analytical materials, specialists are searched for to develop a normative legal act. Simultaneously with this work, a discussion is being held in the conference with the aim of exchanging experience in order to prevent possible defects in law.

The following is data on a specific project. The system is built in the client-server architecture based on the industrial search platform Convera Retrieval Ware (or IBM OmniFind). Server components are running Windows XP and MS SQL. JBoss is used as the application server, Tomcat is the web server. (WebSphere for IBM OmniFind). The data exchange between the client and the server occurs via the HTTP protocol. A web browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox Google Chrome) is used as a thin client. The program code of the module “Collection and processing of offers” is executed on a central server and integrates with Convera Retrieval Ware. Also on this server, the procedures for loading data from external sources (databases) are performed. When connecting more than 100 users to the system, in order to maintain acceptable performance indicators, it is recommended to transfer the DBMS and application server to dedicated hardware servers.

The present invention is industrially applicable, put into trial operation as a pilot project of a model for collecting and processing information to improve legislation to form a complete reliable picture in the field of regulatory legal acts subject to cancellation, development or amendment.
