That's only in the web portal though. Is there any indication on how this data is queried by agencies like BEIN? I.e. do they use APIs, raw whois or the online portal.

In terms of documentation:

https://trust.ripe.net/law-enforcement-and-competent-authorities/

would it help to have a page which explained what data the RIPE NCC maintains and what data is maintained by the LIR.  Or some training? Interpreting RIPEDB output seems to have been a problem since forever.

Hi Nick, Daniel,

Maybe add some comments in whois output to highlight which fields in which 
objects are authoritative?

We do highlight (in blue) RIPE NCC managed values on the web query page, e.g.
https://apps.db.ripe.net/db-web-ui/query?bflag=false&dflag=false&rflag=true&searchtext=org-rien1-ripe&source=RIPE

Perhaps this can be extended to include other authoritative data. Input from 
the community is welcome.
