Title: PART B – INTRODUCTION

Part B – Introduction

Part B provides a draft for the Identity laws database, the Identity Law Survey (IDLS). In the framework of FIDIS activities, this work is in line with Work Package 8, “Integration of the NoE”, which relates to all integrating activities. One of the objectives of this WP is to develop a database on identity legislation in the EU and a selection of other countries. This is a counterpart to the database on Identity Management Systems (described in the first part of this document).

This second part of the deliverable describes the context for establishing the law survey in the first workplan of FIDIS (section 8.1). Next, the initial structure of the law survey, i.e. ID Law database that was used to build a prototype is described (section 9). Section 10 outlines the proposed new database structure, where the first findings of the collection of ID theft-related legislation were used to refine the initial structure. Section 11 gives a full overview of the database structure, whereas section 12 lists interface requirements (for use in deliverable D1.4) for the website that will open up the database to the public. Section 13 contains the user manual, and section 14 indicates how the ID Law Survey will be maintained.
