Subject: Identifier review: U.S. Federal jurisdicton
After much to-ing and fro-ing, the U.S. identifiers in the LRR have finally stabilized. It would be great if members of the group could take a look at the arrangement before it is finalized. http://fbennett.github.io/legal-resource-registry/us/index.html There are two main issues: (1) I am not sure about the courts set under "Federal Circuit". These should all be courts from which there is an appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circut. I'm not sure that is true in all cases (FISA? and maybe others). (2) I have placed "States" and "Territories and Possessions" in separate segments. There are some alternatives: (a) These could be placed under the circuits from which appeal can be had from the relevant state/territory Supreme Court, but that would misrepresent the relative autonomy of state-level jurisdiction. (b) Alternatively, both could be bumped up a level, dropping the segments. That does not raise any namespace issues, but it would muddy the distinction between these and the Navajo Nation system, which terminates in its own final court of appeal (plus it would make the browsable view more cluttered, which may not be an issue). (c) Things could be left as they are. Take a look, see what you think! Frank
