TITLE: URN:LEX : A Uniform Resource Name (URN) Namespace for Sources of Law (LEX).
IDENTIFIER: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-spinosa-urn-lex-02.
CONTRIBUTOR: Institute of Legal Information Theory and Techniques of the Italian National Research Council (ITTIG/CNR); Italy. National Centre for ICT in Public Administration (CNIPA); Brazil, Federal Senate, IT Department (PRODASEN); Cornell Law School Legal Information Institute (LII).
DESCRIPTION: "The purpose of the 'lex' namespace is to assign an unequivocal identifier, in standard format, to documents that are sources of law. The identifier is conceived so that its construction depends only on the characteristics of the document itself and is, therefore, independent from the document's on-line availability, its physical location, and access mode. 'Sources of law' include any legal document within the domain of legislation (including bills), case law and administrative acts or regulations. This identifier will be used as a way to represent the references (and more generally, any type of relation) among the various sources of law. In an on-line environment with resources distributed among different Web publishers, uniform resource names allow simplified global interconnection of legal documents by means of automated hypertext linking."

TITLE: XML Wrapper for Legislative Bills.
IDENTIFIER: http://www.ncsl.org/default.aspx?TabId=19628#XMLWrapper.
PUBLISHER: National Conference of State Legislatures.
PUBLISHER: Minnesota. Office of the Revisor of Statutes.
CONTRIBUTOR: Library of Congress. National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP).
DESCRIPTION: "...an experimental file format for storing legislative bills. The file format is called the "xmlwrapper" format because it wraps existing files and metadata in XML. For each bill a single XML file is created that contains all the files a legislature chooses to publish. The format uses a legislature's existing file formats; no transformations are necessary. The xmlwrapper file format is identical regardless of the legislature creating the file. The xmlwrapper format allows organizations to obtain bills from multiple state legislatures with small or no increase in resources. The file format may eventually prove useful for state legislatures and state archives to archive bills."
