This data category requires all national laws and statutes available to be available online, although it is not a requirement that information on legislative behaviour e.g. voting records is available. To satisfy this category, the following minimum criteria must be met:

  • Content of the law / status
  • If applicable, all relevant amendments to the law
  • Date of last amendments
  • Data should be updated at least on quarterly

Comments

The site contains no "term and conditions" and are therefore not open, however you should be able to safely reuse it.

Metadata is available in machine readable format and for bulk download: When you perform a search through Retsinformation.dk you can chose the option "Eksporter søgeresultatet" which gives you the search result in CSV - you can search for all documents to get a full CSV bulk download of the metadata of all legislation (although with 77,000 entries this sometimes over-stresses the server - if so make several queries).

Content of laws available in html-format and not as bulk-download: The section on the Lex Dania project (https://www.retsinformation.dk/Forms/R0500.aspx?page=5) outlines that all legislation is available in XML format as of 2007. So, data can be considered machine readable. But this data is not online.
