Situation

The Federal Chancellery's Official Publications Centre (OPC) operates Fedlex, the publication platform for federal law. This platform is based on structured data in Resource Description Format (RDF). The JOLux ontology used for this purpose defines the specific structuring of the data. So far, only a rudimentary description of this ontology exists, which is to be supplemented by a website as part of the project. As a comprehensive documentation of JOLux, this website should enable interested civil society to use the structured data of the KAV for various projects and thus contribute to an open and innovative administration.
