The Republic of Austria has been the first European country to authentically promulgate its laws in electronic form: Since 1 January 2004, the Federal Law Gazette has been authentically published on the website of the Legal Information System of the Federal Chancellery. Electronic publication, however, is only the «front-end» of an «electronified» law-making process, the latter being the very prerequisite for an efficient electronic publication procedure: The federal law-making process in Austria is supported by an electronic workflow system, which has been developed by the Federal Chancellery and the Parliamentary Administration since 2001. From the concept of this system, the outline of a reference model for electronic law-making support can be derived.
