ELI Permalinks

ELI Permalinks enables Drupal sites to create, publish, and manage persistent
URLs based on the European Legislation Identifier (ELI) URI model.

Administrators can associate an ELI identifier with either a Drupal-managed
file or a trusted external URL. The module generates the public path from
controlled ELI components and provides an administrative interface for
creating, editing, enabling, disabling, and deleting identifiers.

Features

• Generates human-readable and machine-readable ELI paths.
• Implements the Spanish ELI URI template:

  /eli/{jurisdiction}/{type}/{year}/{month}/{day}/{number}/{version}/{version_date}/{language}/{format}

• Supports work-, expression-, and manifestation-level identifiers by making
  the corresponding final URI components optional.
• Provides controlled vocabularies for jurisdiction, legal document type,
  version, language, and format.
• Resolves identifiers to Drupal-managed files or trusted external URLs.
• Validates that file and external URL destinations are mutually exclusive.
• Enforces unique ELI paths.
• Supports original (dof) and consolidated
  (con) legal document versions.
• Provides a dedicated permission and a complete administrative CRUD
  interface.
• Supports Drupal 10 and Drupal 11.

Requirements

The module uses the File and Options modules provided by Drupal core.

Standards

Spanish ELI URI implementation published by the Agencia Estatal Boletín
Oficial del Estado.
