The ID Law database is structured as follows. On the top level are countries, including – if relevant – supranational law-making bodies (such as the EU), and for countries with a federal legal system, containing two country entries, one for the federal and one for the state level (cf. section ).
The next two levels concern the categorisation of ID-related laws, some of them subdivided in subcategories (see section ).
The fourth level then gives the content of the laws, if available extended with the full-text of the law or legal provision(s), in an original language and/or in an English translation. Added to the content is a title, the date of entry or change, contributor initials, and a link to the disclaimer. Together, the fourth level thus represents the ‘real’ contents of each record that will be shown on the webpage (see section ).
The structure therefore is as follows:
Level | Attribute Label | Definition | Value |
1 | Country | Name of the country (supranational body), if relevant extended with the attribute ‘federal’ or ‘states’ | Text |
2 | Legal category | Main category of ID-related legal area | Text |
3 | Legal subcategory | Subcategory of ID-related legal area, if relevant | Text |
4 | Title | indicates country and (sub)category; this is the text that shows up in search queries | Text |
4 | Summary | Summary of the law or legal provision(s) | Text |
4 | Full-text original | Full-text of the law or legal provision(s) in (one of) the original language(s), if available | Text |
4 | Full-text translation | Translation of the law or legal provision(s) in English, if available | Text |
4 | Date of contribution | Date(s) of the (last change of the) entry | Date |
4 | Contributor | Initials of the contributor(s) | Text |
4 | Disclaimer | Link to disclaimer | Hyperlink |
Hierarchically, the structure looks as follows:
An example of a record is the following:
Level | Attribute Label | Example | Value |
1 | Country | Netherlands | Text |
2 | Legal category | C. Identification duties | Text |
3 | Legal subcategory | C1. Show ID – criminal law | Text |
4 | Title | Netherlands / C1. Obligations to Show ID | Text |
4 | Summary | The Compulsory Identification Act of 1993 designated several specific situations in which people have to show an ID, such as when riding in public transport without a valid ticket. On 1 January 2005, however, the law has been extended into a general obligation to show an ID to any police officer or supervisory official. The obligation holds for all people of 14 years and older. | Text |
