| In an open and machine-readable format | [Original Submitter Comment]Most statues, resolutions and regulations are available either from government websites such as Infojurídica or third parties. The problem lies in the quality of the documents, which for some reason are sometimes printed, then scanned into PDFs and uploaded, rendering them unsearchable (document quality is also sometimes an issue). [Reviewer comment] Laws are only available in PDF. Did not find that the quality of the PDF documents was problematic. | |
| Downloadable at once | No | As a reviewer I am changing this to NO because there is no option to download data in bulk. Moreover, each amendment to the laws has to be downloaded separately from the original text of the law. |
| Up-to-date | Yes | |
| Publicly available | Yes | |
| Available free of charge | Yes | |

Digital Collection of Official Gazettes from 1903 to date. [Reviewer comment] Both websites listed in the original submission contain the data set that we are looking for. For the sake of consistency I am using the URL for Info Juridicia for the review. I found that this source provided a better account of amendments to laws. |
