ELI, the European Legislation Identifier :Good practices and guidelines

The present guide was created by the ELI Taskforce and is aimed at developers or project managers who want to implement ELI into their legal publishing systems. The ELI Taskforce was set up in December 2012, under the auspices of the Council of the European Union Working Party on E-law, to study the future development of the ELI standard. The taskforce aims to help Member States wishing to adopt ELI by sharing knowledge and expertise. The purpose of this document is to provide publishers of legal information with a step-by-step methodology on how to implement the European Legislation Identifier (ELI). The current document is an updated edition of the ELI methodology guide that includes lessons learned from national ELI implementations and feedback received during hands-on workshops organised by the ELI Taskforce.
