+====== Open Privacy Legislation ======
-====== Open Privacy Policy ======
+The web holds enormous potential to make legislation openly available as a public resource. Not just so you can read pieces of legislation online, but also to analyse, annotate, combine and reference using new tools. The Declaration of Parliamentary Openness was released in 2012 (http://www.openingparliament.org/declaration ). It lays out a set of best practices for national parliaments to make their information open.
-When reading online privacy policies, it is difficult to know the legal jurisdiction the website asserting those terms is answerable to, and therefore which laws apply. An **open resource of international privacy and data protection laws** could be linked to by third-parties like [[http://tosdr.org/|ToSDR.org]] and [[http://privacyscore.com/|PrivacyScore]], to help consumers understand where they stand.
+Taking data protection and privacy legislation as a case study, we assessed a range of government websites and rated them according to a few of the criteria from the Declaration. We rated countries on a 1-4 scale based on the following criteria; is there a URI for the original act (1 point), the most current version of the act (1), is there a permissive license (1), and is the URI 'neat' (1)?
-Knowing which countries and companies have been approved for international data transfers between each other would also be helpful and fun to visualise!
+We mapped this data: **[[http://cdb.io/19dvTYx|live demo]]**

-  - Create data schema for international privacy law
+This project started as a [[event:2013-09|LegalHack@OKCon 2013]] challenge.
-  - Input data (e.g. existing policies)
-  - Visualise data transfer agreements
-There is already a proprietary, free (as in gratis) resource which already covers international data protection laws at [[http://uk.practicallaw.com/2-502-1510|practicallaw.com]]. However this is not open, and its not data, so not helpful for law mining.
+=== 18 Stars of Open Legislation? ===
-Previous work visualising data protection issues: [[http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/visualizations/worlds-biggest-data-breaches-hacks/|informationisbeautiful.net]]
+John Sheridan also came up with a set of additional criteria, a little like Tim Berners-Lee's Five Stars of Linked Data, which set out some additional technical best practices for publishing legislation;
-====== Project =====
+Basic:
-(screenshots or sketches up here)
+  * there is a URI for each legislative act
+  * the URI resolves on the web to open legislation
-Brief description goes here. Add sections below if you need more room.
+Standard:
-Include links to your demo and/or source code.
+  * the URI Set is persistent with guarantees about availability
+  * Occam's razor has been applied (no cruft in the URI).
-===== Data =====
+Advanced:
-  * List and link your actual and ideal data sources.
+  * URI set contains abstract identifiers and document identifiers
+  * URI set supports multiple manifestations (XML, PDF)
+  * URI resolution supports content negotiation (e.g. browser can request content as plain text rather
+than html)
+  * traditional citation scheme can be mapped to new style URIs with no additional information
+  * the URIs are human readable / reader friendly
+  * the URIs are hackable
+  * there are batch and list views available as well as identifiers for documents
+  * URIs support provision level addressing
+  * URIs support point in time addressing
+  * URIs support jurisdiction variations
+  * URIs support known future states (prospective versions)
+  * URIs support possible future states (proposed versions)
+  * URIs support a variety of aliases and searches to aid use
+  * URIs are formally described with a IETF URI Template specification
