Conversion of Historic Statutes Collection
Tender ID: 523911
Tender Details
Tender Description
We are looking to engage a suitably qualified and experienced supplier to undertake text correction and convert historic legislation to an XML format for the PCO. This material will ultimately be published on the New Zealand Legislation website at www.legislation.govt.nz.
The PCO has already segmented the XML conversion process into two collections based on the expected complexity. We believe that Segment A (1958 to 2007) can be supported with guidance for making relatively minor adjustments to make the conversion easier. In contrast, Segment B (1841-1957) is more complex and the quality KPIs may be reviewed if sample conversion proves difficult.
• Stage 1 - OCR correction (this will involve an analysis of the expected cost / accuracy / benefit of different options to improve OCR accuracy)
• Stage 2 - the generation of XML stubs with metadata
• Stage 3 – the full conversion of more modern Acts to the PCO’s XML standard (Segment A)
• Stage 4 - the conversion of the oldest Acts (Segment B)
