In my opinion the most interesting web site that I found is one that regards medium neutral citations in treaties, which would refer to number 2 in our book(page 35)
First of all, we get a slight introduction explaining, that the medium neutral citation has been adopted by the australian commonwealth goverment regarding treaties, and then follows as to it is developed. According to the website, it is developed through two main branches, the australian treaties database,(which you can acces through the DFAT website) and secondly the australian treaties library. In this system, every treaty is assigned a three piece identifier otherwise known as a citation. This is very useful for users to actually find the treaties under the database, but just entering the citation under the search window.
The citation is in the following format:
name of the treaty / [year of publication] /designator/ sequential number
Although it is not always the case, some treaties refer to other treaties, therefore to improve the efforts of the ATD and ATL, the treaties Secretariat suggests accompanying these references to other treaties with an identifier.
Take for instance: Agreement Between the Government of Australia and the Government of the Arab Republic of Egypt Regarding Cooperation on Protecting the Welfare of Children (Cairo, 22 October 2000) Australian Treaty Series **[2002] ATS 3**
In conclusion, this method has in mind the importance of sorting out in a reasonable way the different treaties, in search of a more efficient way for the public or anyone who wishes to have access, to look for those treaties.
The identifier is very useful for search engines, because as we all know, sometimes a subject can have more than one treaty regulating it, with the identifiers there is no conceivable way for a search engine to get confused.
on the result number eight, we can see a basic legal citation § 1-600(2005).
What I found about this result is that there is no national citation standard-setting authority, and the citations are limited to a specific area. There is a citation manual created by four law journals: the Columbia Law Review, the Harvard Law Review, the University of Pennsylvania Law Review, and The Yale Law Journal, invariably referred to as The Bluebook. The last book was for a long time the most used manual.This book is being used nowadays in USA edited by young law journalists
Two important national organisms, the American Bar Association (ABA) and American Association of Law Libraries (AALL), have been trying to persuade courts, publishers, and lawyers to implement citation standards that are not keyed to print or to any specific publisher's offerings.
Finally, I must add that legal citations are reinforced or altered by each community or country.
