Level of implementation

Pillar 1, 2 and 3 (full implementation)

URI template structure for pillar 1

Denmark legislation is published using the following URI template:

Primary/canonical URI:

A unique search applied to identify any single document in www.retsinformation.dk. The URI varies depending on the domain, year, natural identifier and format of the specific document.

Primary/canonical URI specific for regulation:

http://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/{domain}/{year}/{natural identifier}/{format}

Implemented metadata elements (only applicable for pillar 2)

Examples

1. Primary/canonical URI:

A unique search applied to identify any single document in www.retsinformation.dk. The URI varies depending on the domain, year, natural identifier and format of the specific document.

Primary/canonical URI specific for regulation:

http://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/{domain}/{year}/{natural identifier}/{format}

Example, The Danish Administration of Justice Act (Retsplejeloven):

{domain}: lta (Lovtidende A)
{year}: 2014 (year of signature)
{natural identifier}: 1308 (number)
{format}: PDF, HTML or XML

Full URI: http://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/lta/2014/1308/pdf

Primary/canonical URI specific for the documents of the Danish Parliament:

http://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/{domain}/{natural identifier}/{format}

Example, legislative proposal:

{domain}: ft (Folketinget)
{natural identifier}: 201314L00805 (accession number)
{format}: PDF, HTML or XML

Full URI: http://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/ft/201314L00805/xml

2. Alias URI:

A unique search applied to redirect from an alias URI to a primary/canonical ELI URI of a specific document in www.retsinformation.dk. Technically, the redirection is an HTTP redirection as the user's browser is redirected to the primary/canonical URI if using an alias URI.

Alias URI specific for regulation only:

http://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/{domain}/{docType}/{year}/{month}/{day}/{number}

Example, The Danish Administration of Justice Act (Retsplejeloven):

{domain}: regel
{docType}: lbkh
{year}/{month}/{day}: 2014/12/09 (date of signature)
{number}: 1308

Full URI: http://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/regel/lbkh/2014/12/09/1308

This alias URI is specific for regulation only as {year}, {month} and {day} have a different meaning regarding the documents of the Danish Parliament.

Alias URI specific for regulation and the documents of the Danish Parliament:

http://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/accn/{accn}

Example, legislative proposal:

{accn}: 202112L00195

Full URI: https://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/accn/202112L00195

3. Partial/search:

A search applied to identify a group of documents. The URI varies depending on the domain and year of the specific documents.

http://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/{domain}/{year}

Example, list of search results: http://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/lta/2014
