-====== 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. 
  
-The web holds enormous potential to make legislation openly available as a public resource. Not just so you can read pieces of legislation onlinebut also to analyseannotatecombine and reference using new tools.+Taking data protection and privacy legislation as a case studywe 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)?
