ministry-document-registries

name: ministry-document-registries description: Query Estonia's official ministry and agency document registries (ADR network) for operational records, incoming/outgoing documents, and workflow traceability.

Ministry Document Registries

Use when

• You need official document-level operational records from ministries/agencies.
• You need a trace of administrative workflow (registration, correspondence, routing).

Avoid when

• You need enacted legal texts only.

Inputs

• Institution, date range, document keywords, registry identifiers.

Outputs

• Registry search results with document metadata and source links.

Primary endpoints

• ADR network root: https://adr.rik.ee/
• RIK agency document register: https://www.rik.ee/en/agency/document-register

Workflow

1. Identify target institution's registry from ADR network.
2. Query by keyword/date/document number.
3. Include RIK agency document register where institution context requires it.
4. Extract core metadata (registry number, dates, sender/recipient, subject).
5. Return normalized records and links.

Human setup (when needed)

• ADR pages are often UI-first. Walk the user through selecting the institution and entering filters, then ask for the resulting search URL or exported file and continue.

Quality checks

• Keep original registry identifiers unchanged.
• Separate incoming vs outgoing records where provided.

Access reality

• Public access type: Public webpage/document extraction.
• Verification run: 2026-02-24.
• https://adr.rik.ee/ (HTTP 200, text/html, file links detected: 0)
• https://www.rik.ee/en/agency/document-register (HTTP 200, text/html;, file links detected: 0)

Request contract

• Use the listed primary endpoints as authoritative entry points.
• If API/query parameters are only visible in-browser, preserve exact request URL, params, and headers in output metadata.
• If endpoint is UI-only, document click path and extraction method used.

Output schema expectations

• Keep at least: source URL, retrieval timestamp, publication/update date (if available), title/record label, and extracted governance-relevant fields.
• Preserve original field names when present in downloadable/API output.

Limits and caveats

• Confirm whether data is open-download, UI-only, or authenticated before claiming full access.
• Separate narrative/guidance text from measurable records.

Verification hooks

• Validate endpoint reachability and content type before extraction.
• Validate that each extracted claim is linked to a concrete source URL.
