Findex II – Demo IT Tool

Findex II Demo IT Tool is a prototype tool developed during the project to facilitate the search of judicial experts in the European Union. The tool gives the user the opportunity to search for the fields of expertise they might need in judicial proceedings. The Demo IT Tool contains mock data for 6 pilot Member States (BE, FR, IT, LU, PL, RO). For each country, 50 experts were created. Experts were populated with mock data. Furthermore, experts are linked to National Nomenclature fields of expertise, which correspond to a particular Findex Nomenclature ID. For the purposes as prototype, the Demo IT Tool was adjusted to the E-Justice portal layout.
