An action-based ontology of LEGAL RELATIONS
Proceedings of the 8th international conference on Artificial intelligence and law, 2001This paper aims at linking the AI notion of action to the notion of LEGAL RELATION. Legal rules concern actions to accomplish or to exclude and states to achieve or to avoid. The body of the rule establishes who and under which conditions must respect the obligation.

Using Legal Ontologies with Rules for Legal Textual Entailment
2018Law is an explicit system of rules to govern the behaviour of people. Legal practitioners must learn to apply legal knowledge to the facts at hand. The United States Multistate Bar Exam (MBE) is a professional test of legal knowledge, where passing indicates that the examinee understands how to apply the law.

A Pattern for the Representation of Legal Relations in a Legal Core Ontology
2016This paper extends UFO-L, a Legal Core Ontology (LCO) based on Robert Alexy's Theory of Constitutional Rights and grounded on the Unified Foundational Ontology (UFO). We present the first pattern of UFO-L's patterns catalogue and its application.

A Cognitive Science Perspective on Legal Ontologies
2010We can trace five origins of ontology engineering, and all five still play a major role in ontology engineering. Each of these roots gives a different perspective on content and use of ontologies. Philosophical ontology is concerned with "reality"; Information science with systematic terminology; Artificial Intelligence (AI) with terminological ...

An OWL Ontology of Fundamental Legal Concepts.
2006In this paper we present a description of an OWL Ontology of fundamental legal concepts developed within the ESTRELLA European project. The aim of the ontology is to contribute to enable semantic access to digital legal information and clarify the legal theoretical concepts such as deontic modalities, obligative rights, permissive rights, liberty ...

Ontology-driven access to legal information
12th International Workshop on Database and Expert Systems Applications, 2002From the analysis of a research project supported by government funding, some criteria of describing legal information on different levels are presented. The non-jurists users, who the public nature of the project regards as privileged, are not able to explain clearly the information they need; therefore, particular attention should be paid to the ...

Legal Ontologies in ICT and Law
2011Re-usability is frequently declared as sine qua non feature of modern ontology engineering. Although thoroughly examined in general theory of knowledge management models the re-usability issue is still barely a declaration in the domain of legal ontologies. The similar situation also applies to statute-specific ontologies.

Legal concepts as inferential nodes and ontological categories
Artificial Intelligence and Law, 2009I shall compare two views of legal concepts: as nodes in inferential nets and as categories in an ontology (a conceptual architecture). Firstly, I shall introduce the inferential approach, consider its implications, and distinguish the mere possession of an inferentially defined concept from the belief in the concept's applicability, which also ...

Legal Ontologies and Loopholes in the Law
2008The use of ontologies is today widely spread across many different domains. The main effort today is, with the development of Semantic Web, to make them available across the Internet community with the purpose of reuse. The legal domain has also been explored concerning ontologies, both on the general as on the subdomain level.

Approaches to Legal Ontologies
2011Legal ontologies have proved crucial for representing, processing and retrieving legal information, and will acquire an increasing significance in the emerging framework of the Semantic Web. Despite the many research projects in the field, a collective reflection on the theoretical foundations of legal ontology engineering was still missing.
