[Open-Legislation] European Legislation Identifier (ELI)

[Ronny Patz]

Hi all,

not sure whether anyone of you is following this, but the EU Council  
of Ministers is about to create a "European Legislation Identifier  
(ELI)" which is "aimed at providing a flexible and unique way to  
reference legislation across different legal systems and paving the  
way for a semantic web of Legal Gazettes and Official Journals."

The exact details documenting the ELI are not available yet as far as  
I can see, but the decision to create it is public:

Best,

Ronny
