A Semantic Web approach in the legal domain is presented in terms of a model of normative provisions and related axioms. In particular, relation between provisions are identified and modelled by introducing design patterns able to describe Hohfeldian legal fundamental relations and by a query approach able to deal with relations between provisions instances. Examples of semantic annotation of l...

The existing defect of the legal field in form inconsistency norms that make it up, gives rise to inconsistency, imbalance main social regulator relations. Building normative material without analysing need create a separate regulator, as well obligation establish relationship with norms, determined significance such study. definition competition is an object scientific research quite often.

This paper presents the extraction of a legal access control policy and a conflict resolution policy from the EU Data Protection Directive [1]. These policies are installed in a multi-policy authorization infrastructure described in [2, 3]. A Legal Policy Decision Point (PDP) is constructed with a legal access control policy to provide automated decisions based on the relevant legal provisions....

We are concerned with the automatic semantic interpretation of legal modificatory provisions. We propose a novel approach which pairs deep syntactic parsing and a fine-grained taxonomy of legal modifications. Although still in a developmental stage, the implemented system can be used to annotate with metainformation modificatory provisions of NormaInRete documents.

In this work we consider the task of the automatic semantic annotation of the normative modifications enclosed in Italian legal texts. The system is based on a deep syntactic parsing coupled with a semantic analysis based on frames.

This paper looks at the use of recitals in the interpretation of EU legislation, and mechanisms for connecting them to normative provisions. The purposive approach to the interpretation of EU legislation taken by the European Court of Justice makes frequent references to recitals as helping to establish the purpose of normative provisions. Our research uses a cosine similarity based approach to...
