چکیده

This paper discusses how to construct a legal ontology using 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 extract a legal ontology with a general ontology. The other is to identify bugs in a constructed legal ontology and re ne them. Here is presented a method to match a legal concept with the most similar corresponding 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. We have just been implementing a computer environment to help a user construct a legal ontology using a general ontology. The experimental results of matching and a static analysis are presented.

A Legal Ontology Development Environment using a General Ontology

In developing large scale of expert systems, we must build several kinds of knowledge bases and integrate them. If we would build them independently, so much e ort would be done in order to maintain the consistency among them. Because a domain-speci c ontology would present the definition of concepts that often come up in them, it could be so helpful to support the task. As the scale of expert ...
