Editing United States Code (section)

===Digital and Internet versions===
Both the [[Office of the Law Revision Counsel|LRC]] and the GPO offer electronic versions of the Code to the public. The LRC electronic version used to be as much as 18 months behind current legislation, but as of 2014 it is one of the most current versions available online. The United States Code is available from the LRC at [http://uscode.house.gov/ uscode.house.gov] in both HTML and XML bulk formats.<ref>{{cite web |title=U.S. House of Representatives publishes U.S. Code as open government data |first=Alexander B. |last=Howard |work=e-pluribusunum.com |date=July 30, 2013 |access-date=August 21, 2013 |url=http://e-pluribusunum.com/2013/07/30/house-of-representatives-publishes-u-s-code-as-open-government-data/ |archive-date=August 23, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130823214124/http://e-pluribusunum.com/2013/07/30/house-of-representatives-publishes-u-s-code-as-open-government-data/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Testers wanted: Beta Website for US Code Now Online |first=Daniel |last=Schuman |publisher=[[Sunlight Foundation]] |date=November 13, 2012 |access-date=August 21, 2013 |url=http://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2012/11/13/testers-wanted-beta-website-for-us-code-now-online/ |archive-date=January 9, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140109050355/http://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2012/11/13/testers-wanted-beta-website-for-us-code-now-online/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The "United States Legislative Markup" (USLM) schema of the XML was designed to be consistent with the [[Akoma Ntoso]] project (from the [[United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs]]) XML schema,<ref>{{cite web |title=United States Legislative Markup: User Guide for the USLM Schema |publisher=[[Office of the Law Revision Counsel]] |date=July 2013 |access-date=August 25, 2013 |url=http://uscode.house.gov/download/resources/USLM-User-Guide.pdf |archive-date=September 27, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130927223531/http://uscode.house.gov/download/resources/USLM-User-Guide.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref> and the [[LegalDocML|OASIS ''LegalDocML'']] technical committee standard will be based upon Akoma Ntoso.<ref>{{cite web |title=OASIS Puts Akoma Ntoso on the Standards Track |first=Tina |last=Gheen |date=April 23, 2012 |publisher=[[Library of Congress]] |url=http://blogs.loc.gov/law/2012/04/oasis-puts-akoma-ntoso-on-the-standards-track/ |access-date=August 25, 2013 |archive-date=February 19, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130219230905/http://blogs.loc.gov/law/2012/04/oasis-puts-akoma-ntoso-on-the-standards-track/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
