For hierarchical structure we mean a structure organized with higher levels that group basic units, basic units (article, section, etc.) and lower levels inside of the basic unit. The Akoma Ntoso standard is neutral with respect to the legal drafting techniques of the different legal traditions, providing most of the hierarchical elements for modeling the body structure: book, tome, part, subpart, title, subtitle, chapter, subchapter, section, subsection, clause, subclause, paragraph, subparagraph, division, point, indent, alinea, list, sublist. For these reasons, the main requirements of structuring legal text are covered. The following table shows an example how to use of hierarchical elements: Anglophone tradition French tradition Portuguese tradition Italian tradition Spanish tradition EU tradition (here,only English, French, Spanish) AKOMA NOTOSO Higher Division Tome Tome tome Part Partie Parte (codes) Parte Parte Part/ Partie parte part Livre (codes) Livro (codes) Libro Libro book Title Titre Título Titolo Título Title/ Titre/ Titulo title Chapter Chapitre Capítulo Capitolo Capítulo Chapter/ Chapitre Capitulo chapter Subchapter Article (US) Section Secção Sezione Sección o Párrafo Section/ section/ Sección section (code) SubSeçcão Subsection/ Subsección subsection level level Basic Unit Section Rule Article Artigo Articolo Artículo Article (rule)/ article/ articulo/ Article/ section/ rule Subsection Alinéa Alineas Comma Inciso unnumbered paragraph/ alinéa / Párrafo subsection aliena
