Through the Akoma Ntoso URI Resolver it is possible to access all legal documents that are available as URIs according to the Akoma Ntoso Naming Convention. It provides four different ways (or interfaces) to access these documents.
The Akoma Ntoso Naming Convention is a general syntax for URIs of legal documents. Details can be found here
