Thanks to Scott and Patrick for citations to CLML.  As it turns out,

CLML for (UK) legislative information has a lot in common with

Akoma Ntoso XML, which has been used to structure the U.S

Code [1]

Both Akoma Ntoso XML and CLML address the issue of uniform

approach to the structure of legal/legislative citation, which may

become relevant in a new (proposed) OASIS Technical Committee,

"OASIS Legal Citation (Legalcite) TC", as reported yesterday [2].

As described by John Sheridan [3], Jeni Tennison, and others,

CLML makes use of the "Functional Requirements for Bibliographic

Records (FRBR)" specification, and European Legislation Identifier

(ELI) and Case Law Identifier (ECLI) designs;  It also features an

innovative addressing scheme for fetching legislative information

in various "formats" by appending elements for XML, RDF, and

Atom to the base URI.

Example: add "data.xml" or "data.rdf" or "data.feed" to the base

URI reference, per B-D

"Communications Act 2003" (example base "A": /ukpga/2003/21/section/1 )

A) http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/21/section/1

B) http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/21/section/1/data.xml

C) http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/21/section/1/data.feed

D) http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/21/section/1/data.rdf

Some details about the Crown Legislative Markup Language are

referenced in the backgrounder document I prepared to support

discussion about a possible new OASIS Legalcite TC:

"A Standardized Data/Markup Model to Support Neutral Citation

of Court Cases, Legislation, and Regulations"

Hi LegalXMLers,

See the interesting pointer below regarding the Crown Legislative
Markup Language.  This may be an opportunity to promote and relate
your work, so take a look!  If it is interesting, thank Patrick
Durusau for the lead .

All the best,
