ECLI Ecosystem 1: Identifier Identifies the judgment, not the case Identifies the judgment at an abstract level, not a specific document Vendor and medium neutral As citation readable by humans and computers Not (necessarily) replacing national identifiers Fixed format of (always) five elements: ECLI: country: court: year: number ECLI: NL: HR: 2012: 938 2015: VIII.IPS.56.2015 ECLI: SI: VSTS: 4

  4. ECLI Ecosystem 2: Metadata • Based on international standard 'Dublin Core' • Mandatory / optional • Most allow different language versions, e.g. an English summary on a Spanish judgment • Technical scheme available.

  12. BO-ECLI objectives • Improving accessibility to case law by creating linked open data • A 2.0 version of the ECLI standard, which is aligned with other semantic web standards as well as backwards compatible with the 1.0 version • To have EU wide policy guidelines on the publication of case law, specifically addressing the issues of selection criteria, data protection and open data.

  13. BO-ECLI objectives • To have ECLI widely used for citing case law in all legal and academic writings and for interoperability in (legal) IT applications.
