EUR-Lex CELLAR SPARQL endpoint

The Publications Office of the European Union exposes EU legislation, Official Journal and related metadata (the CELLAR repository) as Linked Data through a public SPARQL endpoint, no key required. Results can be returned as XML, JSON or CSV via the Virtuoso SPARQL Query Editor or direct HTTP requests.

Required Attribution:

Not stated as specific wording on the checked page.

Coverage

RDF/Linked Data describing EU legal acts, the Official Journal, case law and related publications in the CELLAR repository, queryable with arbitrary SPARQL. Update cadence: Not stated.

Verdict

RDF metadata about EU legislation, the Official Journal, case law and related publications, queryable via a public, keyless SPARQL endpoint (results as XML, JSON or CSV). Licence is Custom, not a CC licence: EUR-Lex's legal notice says "The Commission’s document reuse policy is based on Decision 2011/833/EU. Unless otherwise specified, you can re-use the legal documents published in EUR-Lex for commercial or non-commercial purposes." WARNING: an exception is stated on the same page: "Some documents, like the International Accounting Standards, may be subject to special conditions of use; these are mentioned in the respective Official Journal/document." Do not claim a CC licence for the SPARQL data. Rate limits: Not stated. Signal Lab links only.
