Digital: definitions compared

How to read the table

• First the earliest act to define the term
• Reference defines it by pointing to another act’s definition
• Partial reference its own text and a reference
• Same wording the same text as an earlier act
• Own wording its own text, compared word by word with the first act
• Own wording ≠ possibly a different concept: own wording with little shared wording with the first act, and German or French use different terms
• Proposal Repealed the act is a Commission proposal, or no longer in force

Each act links to its definition in the reader. Open a term for the texts and the differences, or follow its name to its own page.
