+====== 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 [[http://www.openingparliament.org/declaration|Declaration of Parliamentary Openness]] was released in 2012. 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
