7 Levels of Compliance (Non-Normative)

Akoma Ntoso is a rich standard so it is possible to apply it at different levels of compliance.

Structure and URIs/IRIssublevel ASublevel BSublevel CSublevel D
Level 1 uses the document structure defined in the Akoma Ntoso specifications (e.g., preface, preamble, body, conclusion, annexes) for the source as defined in the chapter 8 of this document (conformance).basic metadata are addednormative references are usedadvanced metadata are addedsemantic elements are added
Level 2 uses the document structure and naming convention of URI/IRI (FRBR metadata) and the IDs according to the AKN naming convention as defined in Akoma Ntoso Naming Convention Version 1.0, chapter 4 and 5, or any functionally-equivalent Naming Convention as defined in Akoma Ntoso Naming Convention Version 1.0, section 4.12.basic metadata are addednormative references are usedadvanced metadata are addedsemantic elements are added

To help bodies find the most suitable subset of the Akoma Ntoso XML schema for their needs and requirements, a web service has been created to generate custom sub-schema, that can be accessed from http://akn.web.cs.unibo.it/aknssg/aknssg.html. Basic metadata correspond to sections:

    1. <identification> part with the FRBR;
    1. <publication> part where it makes sense;
    1. Normative references correspond to all elements using attributes href.

Advanced metadata correspond to elements:

    1. <lifecycle> part;
    1. <analysis> part;
    1. <workflow> part;
    1. <references> part.

Semantic elements are to elements: <date><time> <person> <organization> <concept> <object> <event> <location> <process> <role> <term>< quantity> <def><remark> <recordedTime> <vote> <outcome> <ins> <del> <omissis> <placeholder> <fillIn <decoration> <docType> <docTitle> <docNumber <docProponent> <docDate> <legislature> <session> <shortTitle> <docAuthority> <docPurpose> <docCommittee> <docIntroducer> <docStage> <docStatus> <docJurisdiction> <docketNumber> <courtType> <neutralCitation> <party> <judge> <lawyer> <signature> <opinion> <argument>
