European wiki on internet law

LexeleratorInternet law is a new frontier where SMEs fear to tread, or so says the European Commissions’ ICT Research newsletter ICT Results. The reason, they say, is due to a lack of reliable information about their online legal obligations. To this end, European researchers have just launched an internet law wiki written for non-experts called Lexelerator.

According to the site:

The Lexelerator, or Legal Knowledge Transfer Accelerator, provides you with useful information resources on legal issues in eBusiness through a Legal Wiki and qualified links. Furthermore, it allows you to share your experience with professionals, business colleagues and public officials via on-line tools such as Blogs and a public Forum.

After perusing the site for a while, what I found quite useful was the references within the wiki to relevant EU legal directives. Take for example the entry for e-Signature, which includes the following:

Legal regulations on the electronic signature have been harmonised at the EU level by Directive 1999/93/EC. The Directive defines the e-signature as “data in electronic form which are attached to or logically associated with other electronic data and which serve as a method of authentication”.
