Re: [legaldocml-comment] Erratum in Akoma Ntoso Naming Convention 4.4 Work IRI: creation date

[Anders Rabo Thorbeck <andtho@knowit.no>]

Dear Monica,

My use case is that I am a contractor for a commercial company which publishes literature providing detailed insight into national legislature. Beyond merely making their own publications digital, they also want to be able to display and make navigable all national and relevant EU legislation in the one and the same digital solution. This solution is to be a one-stop-shop for their customers' needs to familiarize themselves with the various national areas of law, at any level of depth.

We came across Akoma Ntoso while googling for data formats for legislation, and it seemed to be a very promising and well considered data format that seems to meet all our current and potential future needs. As such, our Akoma Ntoso manifestations of the various documents are not authoritative, although we do automatically convert them to Akoma Ntoso from the proprietary XML format of an authoritative source.

As there are commercial interests at stake, I am afraid I cannot divulge the name of the company I work for.

Best regards,

Anders R. Thorbeck

Dear Andreas,

We are approaching to publish the third public review based on this documentation (apart your last modification).
In meantime I am curious to know more about your Akoma Ntoso use.
If you can describe in one paragraph your project we can add it in the http://www.akomantoso.org/akoma-ntoso-in-detail/use-cases/ portal.

Best regards,

To whom it may concern,

From http://docs.oasis-open.org/legaldocml/akn-nc/v1.0/csprd02/akn-nc-v1.0-csprd02.html#_Toc447637027 :

"
4.4 The IRI reference of a Work
...
Original creation date [...] MUST correspond to the content of the element <FRBRdate> in the <FRBRExpression> section of the metadata (required).
"

I believe this is an accident, and should refer to "<FRBRWork>" instead of "<FRBRExpression>".

Because why would the work refer to the _expression_, unless it's the master _expression_? Especially considering that an element of the _expression_ IRI is also linked to the <FRBRdate> element under <FRBRExpression>.

"
4.5.1 The IRI for the _expression_ as a Whole
...
If an approved act, the version date [...] MUST correspond to the content of element <FRBRdate> in the <FRBRExpression> section of the metadata.
"

Best regards,
