The Local Government Navigation List (LGNL) represents the standard Local Authority Web site browse navigation structure defined by the Poly Hierarchical navigation System (PHS) in the standard formats supported by esd-standards. The List draws heavily on navigation lists coming from APLAWS and LAWs local government projects. At its lowest level, it maps to services in the Local Government Service List (LGSL) to provide full navigation to all standard local authority services. It is now voluntarily maintained by Bristol City Council and esd-toolkit are grateful for the hard work that goes into collating, sifting and building in the submissions. You can still refer back to the superseded version if necessary.
The mappings from IPSV to the LGNL are voluntarily maintained and provided by Lichfield District Council (formerly by Bridgnorth District Council). esd-toolkit are grateful for the hard work that goes into keeping the mappings up to date.
