Abstract

The LEGAL-DE extension extends the Data Privacy Vocabulary (DPV) Specification to represent laws, authorities, and other legal concepts in DE jurisdiction.

The canonical URL for LEGAL-DE extension is https://w3id.org/dpv/legal/de, the namespace is https://w3id.org/dpv/legal/de#, the suggested prefix is legal-de, and this document along with source and releases are available at https://github.com/w3c/dpv.

DPV Specifications: The [DPV] is the core specification within the DPV family, with the following extensions: Personal Data [PD], Locations [LOC], Risk Management [RISK], Technology [TECH] and [AI], [JUSTIFICATIONS], [SECTOR] specific extensions, and [LEGAL] extensions modelling specific jurisdictions and regulations. A [PRIMER] introduces the concepts and modelling of DPV specifications, and [GUIDES] describe application of DPV for specific applications and use-cases. The Search Index page provides a searchable hierarchy of all concepts. The Data Privacy Vocabularies and Controls Community Group (DPVCG) develops and manages these specifications through GitHub. For meetings, see the DPVCG calendar.

To cite and understand the structure of DPV, the article "Data Privacy Vocabulary (DPV) - Version 2.0" (2024) describes the current state of DPV and extensions from version 2.0 onwards (open access version here). The earlier article "Creating A Vocabulary for Data Privacy" (2019) describes how the DPV was developed (open access versions here, here, and here).

Contributing: The DPVCG welcomes participation to improve the DPV and associated resources, including expansion or refinement of concepts, requesting information and applications, and addressing open issues. See contributing guide for further information.
