Requirements of Legal Knowledge Management Systems to Aid Normative Reasoning in Specialist Domains
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses the challenges of legal norms in specialist domains the interplay between industry/professional standards and legal norms, the information gap between legal and specialist domains and the need for interpretation at all stages of compliance design, operation and justification. We propose extensions to the Eunomos legal knowledge management tool to help address the information gap, with particular attention to aligning norms with operational procedures, and the use of domain-specific specialist ontologies from multiple domains to help users understand and reason with norms on specialist topics. The paper focuses mainly on medical law and clinical guidelines.

Logical Varieties in Normative Reasoning
Although conventional logical systems based on logical calculi have been successfully used in mathematics and beyond, they have definite limitations that restrict their application in many cases. For instance, the principal condition for any logical calculus is its consistency. At the same time, knowledge about large object domains (in science or in practice) is essentially inconsistent. Logica...
متن کاملConstructing a Legal Knowledge-base with Partial Information
In legal reasoning systems, a typical application of normative reasoning, partial information plays an important role in the representation and reasoning of legal knowledge. To construct a legal knowledge-base with partial information, many features are required of knowledge representation languages. In this paper, we discuss the representation of knowledge-bases and their re nement through our...
متن کاملOntologies in the Legal Domain
Since the emergence of the Semantic Web building ontologies have become quite popular and almost every conference on information science including artificial intelligence and e-Government have tracks that cover (legal) ontologies. Ontologies are the vocabularies that can be used to describe a universe of discourse. In this chapter we want to explain the roles (legal) ontologies play in the fiel...
متن کاملUsing Intuitionistic Logic as a basis for Legal Ontologies
Classical Description Logic has been widely used as a basis for ontology creation and reasoning in many knowledge specific domains. These specific domains naturally include Legal Artificial Intelligence. As in any other domain, consistency is an important issue for legal ontologies. However, due to their inherently normative feature, coherence (consistency) in legal ontologies is more subtle th...

This research tends to development of the requirements elicitation methodology with regard to operational nature and hierarchical analysis for complex systems and also, regarding available technologies. This methodology applies Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Analytic Network Process (ANP) to ensure traceability of planned qualitative and quantitative data from requirements to available te...
