An Ontology-based Approach for Chinese Legal Information Retrieval
نویسندگان
چکیده
The keyword-based searches perform unsatisfactorily because of their poor semantic identification, isolated output information and non-uniformed output format, which lead to hard manual screening. In order to overcome these drawbacks, under the challenges that the ambiguity of legal language, the deficiency of three-stage inference for court decisions and the limited role of cases in China, a circular ontology between normative documents and judicial cases is proposed in order to contribute open-textured legal concepts and improve the retrieval accuracy. Taking spiritual compensation in medical disputes as an example, we discuss the correlativeness of normative documents and the similarity of judicial precedents, and the paper offers a practical framework of ontology-based legal information retrieval.

Developing a BIM-based Spatial Ontology for Semantic Querying of 3D Property Information
With the growing dominance of complex and multi-level urban structures, current cadastral systems, which are often developed based on 2D representations, are not capable of providing unambiguous spatial information about urban properties. Therefore, the concept of 3D cadastre is proposed to support 3D digital representation of land and properties and facilitate the communication of legal owners...

Passenger information aims at improving the user-friendliness of public transport systems while influencing passenger route choices to satisfy transit user’s travel requirements. The integration of transit information from multiple agencies is a major challenge in implementation of multi-modal passenger information systems. The problem of information sharing is further compounded by the multi-l...
متن کاملAdjectival Semantics and the Legal Domain: a study for ontology improvement
This paper carries out a descriptive study on Portuguese adjectives. Our aim is to describe the semantics of the legal domain adjectives in order to construct an ontology which may improve Information Retrieval Systems. For this, we present an approach based on valency and semantic relations. The ontology proposed here is a first step aiming to build a legal ontology based on top-level concepts.
متن کاملAn Executive Approach Based On the Production of Fuzzy Ontology Using the Semantic Web Rule Language Method (SWRL)
Today, the need to deal with ambiguous information in semantic web languages is increasing. Ontology is an important part of the W3C standards for the semantic web, used to define a conceptual standard vocabulary for the exchange of data between systems, the provision of reusable databases, and the facilitation of collaboration across multiple systems. However, classical ontology is not enough ...
متن کاملUsing NLP techniques to create legal ontologies in a logic programming based web information retrieval system
Web legal information retrieval systems need the capability to reason with the knowledge modelled by legal ontologies. Using this knowledge it is possible to represent and to make inferences about the semantic content of legal documents. In this paper a methodology for applying NLP techniques to automatically create a legal ontology is proposed. The ontology is defined in the OWL semantic web l...
