1. Foreword

Definition and goals
In addition to the Guidelines and Recommendations a list is being compiled. This list offers the most complete and updated panorama of production of standards and regulations - both at the community level and of the single members of the European Union - relative to Web Applications. This is done with the conviction that information on directions and policies currently in act in the differing national situations is an indispensable step towards the adoption of uniform, shared qualitative criteria.
It will have periodic updates and, where possible, links to the complete text of each single regulation and standard.

Structure and criteria
It will be an un-annotated list, organised by nation and within which data will be eventually organised according to the differing laws sources.
To explain clearly, there were added short notes to illustrate the content of the documents. Inside each paragraph, the specifications are in chronological order, from the last years. Indeed, this research should not be considered as being limited to State legislation (which appears at first view, in this specific area, to be still very limited in terms of quality.); rather, the study aims to include any normative document from public sources which is relevant to Web application, with particular reference - on the side of "addressee" of the regulations - to cultural public subject, and - on the side of contents - to usability and accessibility themes. In some cases other types of not normative documents (reports, projects, different publications) have been included as judged indicatives of political choices which have impact on themes of the inventory. In the final schedule some international standards will also be included.
The documents on web applications related to the aspects of the ‘Information Society’, are excluded. Those are the domains and the supplying web access service regulation, specifique tecniques on infrastructure or on formats, metadata etc, regulations on web security of nets and privacy, telecommercing and distance university, diffusion and development of broadband, intellectual property, digital signature, digital protocoll and issues connected to e-business, e-commerce ,e-learning and to telecommunications in general. Moreover are escluded the norms related to the formation, conservation, and riprodaction of offline digital documents. All that concerning l’e-government has been included only if relevant for the ambits of the inventory or if, vice versa, relating to general strategies and policies. At the level of the community, it has bee given particulary emphases to documents producted in the contest of the various eEurope initiatives.
Some efforts have been devoted to including more links – also not “official”- to the norms texts, to garantee the best availability, when ever it is possible, giving preference to links to texts in PDF format. In some cases, have been pointed out other texts in different ways connected to the mentioned norms.
All that being stated, the inventory does not presume to be exhaustive: it is meant to be ,specially in the online version, as work in progress open not only to future modifications of the normative national and international landscape, but also to furthers widening implementation by compilers and users.

Methodology and sources
The research has been mostly carry out at the Italian Senat of Library, taking advantage of its collection of sources and search tools. In particular, the official sources for the laws of the EU Countries have been selected from the bibliography Le pubblicazioni ufficiali dei Paesi dell’Unione Europea attraverso le raccolte della Biblioteca del Senato, appendix of La bibliografia italiana dei Parlamenti nazionali dell’Unione Europea, to be shortly edited by the Library. Other sources are mentioned in the conclusion of the singles schedules, nation by nation.In the research in database or on internet, the main key words have been Web and Internet variously combined with Digitalisation, Accessibility, Quality, Usability and Public (in the various languages of the list). From the point of view of chronological cover, the duration and validity of the norms will be taken into account and in any case, all documents from 1995 to the present day will be included.The last visit to all mentioned URL has been effected between the 10th january and the 9th february2004.

Problems and observations
In attempting an exhaustive cover in this area, certain factors must be considered.
In the first place, the research is carried out in the context of documentation from public sources, which can be considered critical from the point of view of accessibility and qualitative organisation of documents.
Secondly, documents of limited circulation or which are less "visible," are also considered relevant (circulars, deliberations, etc.).
Difficulties increase because many countries are involved, with different legal traditions and a multitude of lists and registers as sources; indeed, the recent extension of the European Union to 25 Member States and the prospective of further expansion mean that the range of the study will become wider in the long term.
In a similar panorama, alongside the role of official European and national journals (whose updating goes to the disadvantage of semantic indexing of texts), and of data banks on regulations which are available on CD-ROM (the internal organisation of data to the end of research goes to the disadvantage of updating), it would seem that the role of Internet sources is central, even considering all the measures for caution which the means demands.
It is, indeed, ever more the case that national governments, inter-governmental and non-governmental organisations are using the Web to spread information, sometimes in addition to or even in substitution of press releases. The result is greater access to documentation from public sources; it is for this reason that filters that are appropriate, relevant and pertinent to expectations should be placed on availability of information.
In this initial phase filters should be limited to lexical filters obtained from main Key words such a Web and Internet, variously combined with Digitalisation, Accessibility, Quality, Usability and Public (in the various languages of the list). Nevertheless disparity are still strong among the different States for which that concerns chronological cover, availability of full texts or only references publications, semantic indexation of documents, as well as instruments, modality and research tools. Moreover monolinguism of many official websites still persist. In this inventory titles of documents are expressed in the official language of the different countries and the limits of publication ( where they are available) follow quoted or even classified ways. It has been opt for English language only in the cases in which the procured documents on internet would presented already in this form on the official site of the spreader entity. English language recurs in the inventory, also each time an entity places it to its official denomination or to the documents which it enacts or where are links in the official English version in the mentioned documents.
All this considerations influence the organization of the quotations in the inventory.
Anyway many efforts have been devoted to render the vast amount of the different collected data more possibly coherent, pointing out for each document minimal elements of identification; the inevitable heterogeneity are motivated by the exigence to favour consultation ageless compared to an uniformity which would risk not to take into account the singles local reality.
