ELI (European Legislation Identifier)
The European Legislation Identifier (ELI) is a URI scheme and metadata model that gives legislation stable, human-readable web identifiers, such as http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2016/679/oj.
ELI was set out in Council conclusions of 2012 and updated in 2017. EU acts and a growing number of national gazettes (Denmark, Spain, Poland, the UK and others) publish ELIs.
Arieta Data records the ELI where upstream supplies one, which makes national and EU records linkable without string matching.
