CLML and the addition of an Akoma Ntoso output format; corrects the claim that all service XML is natively Akoma Ntoso.

CLML and the addition of an Akoma Ntoso output format; corrects the claim that all service XML is natively Akoma Ntoso.
What this check doesn’t establish
- The 2015 technical factsheet is historical evidence, not a test of every current endpoint.
- No claim that the service contains a fully up-to-date version of every provision is made.
Confidence applies to the scope above, not every claim made by the underlying source. How confidence works
- Kind
- service (third party)
The National Archives’ technical factsheet distinguishes its existing CLML representation from the Akoma Ntoso output added to the API. Akoma Ntoso is an available format, not evidence that every native document is stored in that format.
The essay cites the service as an example of machine-readable law. It separately discusses R v Chambers; no causal claim that the case initiated the service is established here.
