Edited from a press release received on March 5, 2019.
The OASIS LegalXML LegalDocML Technical Committee has achieved adoption of Akoma Ntoso markup structure of use “of XML within a Parliaments', Assembly's or Congress' document management processes, within courts' and tribunals' judgment management systems, and generally in legal documents including contracts.”

You might ask why is this a significant achievement? It is because marked and structured documents are significantly more useful for search, research, statistics, and parsing use in a database. This is because data context matters. As anyone who remembers their English language class, it is the word in context that provides the meaning. Therefore, if more courts and legal systems adopt Akoma Ntoso as part of their document templates, we will be able to share more application code to automate work with these documents.
The press release continues…
“The work is based on the Akoma Ntoso, a project sponsored by the United Nations.
Akoma Ntoso means "linked hearts" in the Akan language of West Africa. For legal publishers and makers of legal information systems, Akoma Ntoso provides a framework for creating machine-readable parliamentary, legislative and judiciary documents such as legislation, debate records, minutes, judgments, etc. In doing so, it helps build a strong foundation for open access to government information.
This Naming Convention provides the rules for defining IRIs and ids used in the Akoma Ntoso XML standard.
