ELI Metadata Ontology
type: Ontology
imports: core
preferred namespace prefix: eli
comment: An ontology to describe legislation, based on the FRBR model, that encodes the ELI metadata fields. See the classes "LegalResource", "LegalExpression" and "Format" as entry points. Interested readers can find more information about ELI on the ELI register at http://eurlex.europa.eu/eli and on the Office of Publications vocabularies website at https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/eli.
version info: 1.4
editorial note: - The ELI ontology reuses the property names from the Metalex ontology (http://www.metalex.eu/) to express the FRBR skeleton hierarchy : is_realized_by/realizes, is_embodied_by/embodies, is_exemplified_by. This wording is also the one used in the original FRBR specifications. However, the decision has been made _not_ to align to the Metalex class names (BibliographicWork, BibliographicExpression, BibliographicManifestation), because ELI is specifically about publishing legal metadata on the web, and not structuring legal content in any document. - first_date_entry_in_force and date_no_longer_in_force could be aligned with dcterms:date - a class could be introduced for URI schemas to implement the URI schema registry - ELI does not use rdfs:subPropertyOf to relate its properties with DublinCore Terms, but instead a custom annotation properties "eli:isSpecificPropertyOf". ELI 1.1 chose to have 2 separate properties in certain situations to accomodate with cases where the value can be either a String or a reference to an identified object; this is the case for eli:publisher / eli:publisher_agent, or eli:rightsholder and eli:rightsholder_agent. This entails that this pair of properties cannot be both aligned with their respective DCTerms equivalent (dcterms:publisher and dcterms:rightsholder), since relating a property using rdfs:subPropertyOf necessary implies to declare the DCterms property as either a datatype property _or_ an objectProperty, but not both.
history note: ## 1.4 ### Semantic changes - Introduced generic eli:ComplexWork class - Introduced generic eli:WorkSubdivision class - introducted generic eli:work_type property on eli:Work (and made eli:type_document a subproperty of this) - introduced eli:is_derivative_of / eli:has_derivative on Work or Expression - introduced eli:has_annex / eli:is_annex_of on Work or Expression - broaden eli:date_document on eli:Work - broaden eli:is_about on eli:Work - broaden eli:changes / changed_by , eli:basis_for / based_on, eli:corrects / corrected_by, eli:amends / amended_by to eli:Work or eli:Expression ### Non-semantic changes - adjusted the subclassOf relationship of eli:Organization, eli:Agent, eli:Person, eli:Manifestation to proper FRBRoo classes ## 1.3 ### Semantic changes - Introduced High-Level FRBR classes Work, Expression and Manifestation, to be shared in ELI-DL; - Broaden the domain and range of structural FRBR properties to Work, Expression or Manifestation, so that they can be shared in ELI-DL : - eli:is_member_of/eli:has_member - eli:is_part_of/eli:has_part - eli:is_realized_in/eli:realizes - eli:is_embodied_by/eli:embodies - eli:exemplified_by - broaden the domain of eli:title, eli:title_short, eli:title_alternative, eli:language to:eli:Expression so that they can be shared in ELI-DL; - introduced eli:type_subdivision to express the type of a LegalResourceSubdivision - introduced eli:countersigned_by to capture countersignatures of legislation - introduced eli:ensures_implementation_of / eli:implementation_ensured_by to capture the fact that some legislation are modified to remain "compatible" with other EU-level or national-level regulations; this implies a legal meaning; ### Non-semantic changes - fixed the definition of the modified properties to match their new domain/range - updated the links to MDR to the EU vocabularies website - made eli:Manifestation a subclass of frbroo:F3_Manifestation to follow new LRM conceptual model; ## 1.2 ### Semantic changes - Modifica…

specific property of
type: AnnotationProperty
comment: Indicates that a property is, in a generic sense, a more specific property of another one. This does not entail the same logical reasoning as rdfs:subPropertyOf. This is used to indicate the alignement to Dublin Core properties, without redeclaring the Dublin Core property in Protégé, and without commiting to choose that a DubinCore property is either a datatype or an object property.

comment: Indicates that this legislation (or part of a legislation) somehow conforms with another legislation. This is an informative link, and it has no legal value. For legally-binding links of transposition, use the property transposes. This can be used for example : - when a pre-existing law already conforms to a recent european directive (in that case it does not "transposes" it strictly speaking); - when non-EU member states make sure their legislation is conformant with EU law without strictly speaking transposing it; - when a legislation from a local authority conforms with a national legislation; Note that this should point to a LegalResource, not to a language-specific expression.

comment: Indicates that this expression has been translated from another original expression; this can be used to distinguish original from derived expressions. Note that asserting this link does not have any implication on the legal value of the original and translated expressions : depending on the context, a translation can be as legally binding as the original version, or can be published for informative purposes only (e.g. a country translating some legal acts in English). The expressions linked with this property can be realisations of the same LegalResource, or different LegalResources. Multilingual legislations that do not need to distinguish between original and derived expressions of the same LegalResource (e.g. european legislation) will not use this property.

comment: The person or organization that originally passed or made the law : typically parliament (for primary legislation) or government (for secondary legislation). This indicates the "legal author" of the law, as opposed to its physical author. This property can be used multiple times to indicate both the agent that authored the text, and/or the agent that signed the text, thus turning it into an actual legislation. The relationship between current and any former law making body should be represented in the description of the agent itself. Member states are encouraged to make their own list of Agents.

responsibility of agent
type: ObjectProperty
domain: Legal Resource
range: Agent
comment: An individual, organisation or organisational unit that has some kind of responsibility for the legislation. Typically the ministry who is/was in charge of elaborating the legislation, or the adressee for potential questions about the legislation once it is published. This property should be used when the value can be identified by a suitable URI; in the absence of such a URI, the property "responsibility_of" should be used with a string value.

sub property of: applies
domain: Class
  union of: Legal Expression
  union of: Legal Resource
range: Legal Resource
comment: Indicates that this legislation (or part of legislation) fulfills the objectives set by another legislation, by passing appropriate implementation measures. Typically, some legislations of European Union's member states or regions transpose European Directives. This indicates a legally binding link between the 2 legislations, at act or article level, from the original version of a national implementing measure to the legal resource Directive as published in the EU Official Journal. Can be used for transposition tables, once EU Publication Office has introduced ELI support down to the article level. The implementation of EU legislation at national level, involving links to EU regulations, decisions, etc. must be captured with eli:ensures_implementation_of. Note that this should point to the legal resource of the Directive itself, not to one of its language-specific legal expression.

Legal resources can be linked together using properties defined in the model. Note that ELI ontology accommodates different point of view on what should be considered a new legal resource, or a new legal expression of the same resource. Typically, a consolidated version can be viewed, in the context of ELI, either as separate legal resource (linked to original version and previous consolidated version using corresponding ELI relations), or as a different legal expression of the same legal resource.
