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 Korea Law Information Center (KLIC) provides information on Korean laws and regulations including administrative rules, local laws and regulations, and legal precedents, as well as laws in force and their histories. The data on the site is only available in DOC, PDF, and HWP (a file format for Korean word processor called Hangul), and it is not available in bulk. The KLIC provides Web APIs so I answered "yes" to the question regarding machine-readability. However, the Web APIs are only accessible after the registration so in terms of the Web APIs, the data is not publicly available.
