چکیده

This paper discusses how to construct a legal ontology from a general ontology that has already been developed. In the construction process, we must solve two hard issues. The one is to localize legal contexts in a general ontology in order to match a legal ontology with a general ontology. The other is to identify bugs in constructed legal ontology and re ne them. Here is presented a new method to match a legal concept with the most similar concept in a general ontology and also two strategies to re ne a legal ontology, a static analysis based on the comparison between two ontologies and a dynamic analysis based on Inductive Logic Programming. We have just been implementing a computer environment to help a user construct a legal ontology from a general ontology. The experimental results of matching and a static analysis are described and also a scenario for a dynamic analysis is presented.
