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"

your work, so take a look!  If it is interesting, thank Patrick

Durusau for the lead .

All the best,
