Assessment Based Legal Information Serving and Cooperative Dialogue in CLIME
نویسندگان
چکیده
Legislation grows in number and complexity, and so does the need to get informed about them, and to be able to infer the consequences of rules and requirements for particular situations. Access to legal sources has thus far been handled in the same way as information retrieval in general by using database technology. This misses out what is the crucial issue in legal information serving (LIS): reasoning about the legal consequences of a query. In the recently started ESPRIT project CLIME (EP25.414) we will build a client-server LIS architecture that will determine legal consequences of the typically abstract and underspecified legal cases expressed in queries. It is an opportunity to test our ideas on LIS in a large realistic legal domain, which has already led to refinement of reasoning modules and specification of new tools.

CLIME: Lessons Learned in Legal Information Serving
This paper presents lessons learned from the CLIME project (1998-2001), aimed at improving the access and understanding of large bodies of legal information through the Internet. Our approach involves explicit representation of the content of the legal sources consisting of three types of knowledge: (1) the domain being regulated (a domain ontology); (2) normative statements about the domain; (...
متن کاملExtended conceptual retrieval
. In the ESPRIT project CLIME (25.414) we are building a “Legal Information Server” (LIS), an advanced legal information retrieval system. Part of the LIS is a module for what we call “extended conceptual retrieval”. In CLIME we elaborate on the notion of CR in several ways. We describe the principles of extended CR, provide data on the quite extensive model we have built so far, and present fi...
متن کاملThe CLIME Ontology
In the CLIME project a large-scale ontology was developed for the purpose of a web-based legal advice system, MILE (Maritime Information and Legal Explanation, see Figure 1). The system features both extended conceptual retrieval and normative assessment (See [WBBH00] and [WBBB99]) on international rules and regulations regarding ship-classification (Bureau Veritas) and maritime pollution (MARP...
