Machine-readable register

Data

The register is published to be quoted, cited, and built on. The whole thing is one JSON file. No key, no sign-up, no rate limit.

The export

One file, all 29 entries, rebuilt whenever an entry is verified. Each record carries the fields below. The file itself is a schema.org Dataset node with a dateModified stamp, so it can be cited as a dataset, not just linked to.

register.json sitemap.xml

Fields

section
Stable index number for browsing order. Not a citation locator; the URL identifies the entry.
slug
URL segment for the entry's page.
jurisdiction
Government or body that issued the instrument.
name
Common name of the law, order, or standard.
citation
Official citation for the primary text.
standing
Draft, advisory, enacted, in force, or struck down.
effectiveDate
Date the instrument takes or took effect, where one exists.
verifiedAt
Date an editor last confirmed the entry against its source.
gloss
One or two sentences on what the instrument does.
tags
Subject labels.
sourceUrl
Link to the primary document.
frameworks
Cross-framework mappings, e.g. to the NIST AI RMF.
jsonLd
Two schema.org nodes: the instrument (Legislation or CreativeWork, published by its issuing body) and AI Reg. Index's page about it (CreativeWork, published by AI Reg. Index).

Every page is parseable too

Each register entry page carries the same data inline as schema.org JSON-LD in the <head>, as two nodes: the instrument itself (Legislation for statutes, regulations, and executive orders; CreativeWork for standards and advisories), identified by its own primary-source URL, and AI Reg. Index's page about it, a separate CreativeWork published by AI Reg. Index. The two are kept distinct so nothing implies AI Reg. Index published the underlying law. The register itself carries a Dataset and an Organization node; entry pages add a BreadcrumbList. An answer engine or a scraper can read the register without touching the JSON file.

With 29 records, filtering by jurisdiction, standing, or tag is a one-line operation on whatever consumes the file.
