Implicit Assumptions in Legal Knowledge Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
n this article we address the issue of implicit assumptions in legal knowledge systems (LKBS). We illustrate that LKBSs have many underlying assumptions mostly arising during the design process. We divide these implicit assumptions over three categories: (1) assumptions about the user, (2) assumptions about the task, and (3) assumptions about the domain. Making assumptions in the design of a LKBS cannot be avoided but both the systems designer and the users of the LKBS should at least be aware of having made the assumptions. We deem a principled method for the development of LKBSs to be a prerequisite for adequate assumption handling. In this method, ontologies fulfil the role of explicit documents of the otherwise implicit assumptions.
