The Legislation and Law Reform Division
of the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) is
the legislative drafting office of Singapore, and
is responsible for the drafting and vetting of all
Singapore legislation.
AGC awarded novaCITYNETS, a subsidiary
of Nova MSC a contract to implement and commission
the Legislation Editing and Authentic Publishing
(LEAP) system on 24 September 2008.
The LEAP system is an initiative proposed
under AGC’s 3-year IT Plan to help generate
significant efficiency gains through the effective
and efficient management of the legislation lifecycle
from drafting to publishing. The LEAP system will
also bring about the new outcomes of authentic legislation
and multiple delivery channels for legislation.
The LEAP system, when fully implemented,
will be a platform for knowledge sharing by storing
legislation semantically, while providing an interface
for syndication and pinpoint cross-referencing. Intuitive
and efficient search and retrieval of information
will also be extended under LEAP.
LEAP is the 2nd contract that AGC has
awarded to novaCITYNETS this year. In January 2008,
Nova was awarded a contract to implement an organization-wide
Enterprise Legal Management System (ELMS). The introduction
of LEAP will also see seamless integration with ELMS,
providing an integrated platform for legislation drafting
and approval.
The implementation for the LEAP system
is a strategic collaboration between novaCITYNETS,
SAIC Pty Ltd and xEdge Consultancy Pte Ltd.
SAIC from Australia is known by governments around
the world as a leading technology company to support
legislative drafting and publication of legislation
