    Finding and Visualizing Dutch Legislative Context Networks

    No full text
    This paper describes preliminary research on automatically determining relevant context to display to a user of a legislative portal given the article they are retrieving, purely based on ‘objective’ criteria inferred from the network of sources of law. Two prototypes doing this, visualizing the result in different ways, are presented, together with a small formative evaluation by several legal expert users. Results are promising, but there is room for improvement

    In dit eerste artikel in de serie informatietechnologie en recht komen de belangrijkste toepassingen voor de rechtspraktijk aan bod. Uitgangspunt is een indeling in drie typen toepassingen: kantoorautomatisering, juridische informatievoorziening en juridische consultatie. Winkels en Breuker denken dat de twee laatstgenoemde toepassingen naar elkaar toegroeien

    Metalex XML and the Legal Knowledge Interchange Format

    Electronic government invariably involves XML and electronic law: legislation is as essential to public administration as the ball is to a ball game. This paper gives an overview of two XML standard proposals dealing with two complementary aspects of electronic legislation – the documents themselves as a carrier, and an institutional reality they represent – in a coherent way: MetaLex XML and the Legal Knowledge Interchange format (LKIF). MetaLex XML is well on its way to becoming formal and de facto standard for legislation in XML. LKIF is yet to be submitted as a proposed standard. LKIF includes some interesting innovations from an AI & Law perspective

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Legal Ontologies: A Functional View

    No full text
    The ontology of law that we present here is one `in between ' a completely general top ontology and ontologies of legal domains. It adopts a functional perspective --- that is, the Law is analysed and interpreted through a functional point of view. We propose a number of primitive functions of legal sources and corresponding categories of legal knowledge: normative knowledge, world knowledge, responsibility knowledge, reactive knowledge, creative knowledge and meta-legal knowledge. Together, these functions realize the main function of the legal system: to regulate social behaviour. The ontology is illustrated with examples from Dutch labour law. Ontology and ontological engineering In the new-born discipline of ontological engineering, the term "ontology" has another meaning than as originally conceived in philosophy. Wolff (1679 -- 1754) elaborated on Leibniz's systematization and introduced the term `ontology' to distinguish the essential from the incidental, the real thing from it..
