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. 
  
-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.+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)?
