The LIP - A Technical Innovation within the Legislative Information System in Madagascar

A parliamentary information software (LIP) has been conceived to be integrated in the legislative information system of the Malagasy national assembly. Evolving from the knowledge of the information needs of potential users (representatives, lawyers, students...), we have exploited scientific methods in order to discover a quality solution. In this work, we have mainly used the method of tree, competitive intelligence techniques and value analysis. Thus, we have produced the LIP, which is an investigation software, used to find information concerning bills which have existed, exist and are being examined at the parliament. The LIP uses the technology of the Internet for a permanent access, at any place and at any moment. In addition, the LIP offers the possibility to consult information recorded on multimedia supports. In the future, the LIP should become a parliamentary intelligence software (LIP second generation).
