Legal Interpretations in LegalRuleML
نویسندگان
چکیده
Legislative documents are by their own nature subject to interpretation, and interpretations of one document can diverge. In this paper we discuss the mechanism proposed by LegalRuleML to capture alternative interpretations or renderings of a legal source. LegalRuleML allows for mutually incompatible renderings (or interpretations) of a legal source to coexist in the same LegalRuleML document, and provides facilities to identify the interpretations and to select them. The mechanism is illustrated with an example form Italian Jurisprudence.
