Automated Legal Assessment with OWL2
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe the heart of HARNESS, a legal knowledge system that is developed in the ESTRELLA project. This heart consists of a reasoning engine that performs legal assessment tasks, i.e. determining whether some case violates and/or complies with legal norms. This assessment module uses three knowledge bases cast in OWL 2: a domain ontology, a set of norms and a case description. It is explained how the sound and complete reasoning provided by OWL is exploited by a careful representation of norms, using examples from law on taxation of gifts. In Section A plugin for Protégé – a workbench for OWL – is described that enables easy experimentation for this reasoning engine, powered by Pellet.

Legal Assessment Using Conjunctive Queries
Using the Web Ontology Language (OWL) for knowledge representation in the legal domain is very promising but has some limitations. The language is complex thus hard to comprehend, still decidability results in a limited expressiveness which may introduce serious problems in modelling. An aspect of limited expressiveness is the tree-model property of OWL, which can be overcome using rule formali...

The use of Structured English as a computation independent knowledge representation format for non-technical users in business rules representation has been proposed in OMG’s Semantics and Business Vocabulary Representation (SBVR). In the legal domain we face a similar problem. Formal representation languages, such as OASIS’ LegalRuleML and legal ontologies (LKIF, legal OWL2 ontologies etc.) su...

متن کاملEmpirically Evaluating Three Proposals for Representing Changes in OWL2
In almost all domains in practice, it is fundamental to properly represent entities amenable to changes. For instance, in business analytics, we must be able to reason with large amounts of time-changing KPI (key performance indicators) data. For this reason, general-purpose practical knowledge representation frameworks must be able to support the representation of temporally changing informati...
