rOWLer - A Hybrid Rule Engine for Legal Reasoning
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper rOWLer, a hybrid rule engine for legal reasoning is presented. The engine combines the expressiveness of rules and ontologies to enable legal reasoning – hence the name “rOWLer”. It is tailored for use in public administration (tax law, pension law, social benefits law, etc.) and provides a flexible architecture, in particular concerning amendments, which allows for adaption to different requirements.

Automation of Legal Reasoning and Decision Based on Ontologies
The main goal of our research is to build a legal reasoning system that performs decision support functions in the criminal domain. The system is based on a rule-based reasoning model which is composed of a legal domain ontology, rule base and reasoning engine. The legal domain ontology is needed for modelling the legal norms of the criminal domain. For this purpose, a middle-out approach is pr...
متن کاملA Rule-Based Implementation of Fuzzy Tableau Reasoning
The integration of distinct reasoning styles such as the ones exploited by description logics and rule-based systems is still an open challenge because of the differences among them. Such integration may be achieved by following two complementary approaches: loose integration vs. tight integration. Loosely integrated hybrid systems couple existing tools, so they have to handle mutual interactio...
متن کاملEvaluation of a Hybrid Knowledge-Based System Using Fuzzy Approach
This paper describes the main features of a knowledge-based system evaluation method. System evaluation is placed in the context of a hybrid legal decision-support system, Advisory Support for Home Settlement in Divorce (ASHSD). Legal knowledge for ASHSD is represented in two forms, as rules and previously decided cases. Besides distinguishing the two different forms of knowledge representation...
متن کاملCombining a DL Reasoner and a Rule Engine for Improving Entailment-Based OWL Reasoning
We introduce the notion of the mixed DL and entailment-based (DLE) OWL reasoning, defining a framework inspired from the hybrid and homogeneous paradigms for integration of rules and ontologies. The idea is to combine the TBox inferencing capabilities of the DL algorithms and the scalability of the rule paradigm over large ABoxes. Towards this end, we define a framework that uses a DL reasoner ...
متن کاملType-2 Fuzzy Hybrid Expert System For Diagnosis Of Degenerative Disc Diseases
One-third of the people with an age over twenty have some signs of degenerated discs. However, in most of the patients the mere presence of degenerative discs is not a problem leading to pain, neurological compression, or other symptoms. This paper presents an interval type-2 fuzzy hybrid rule-based system to diagnose the abnormal degenerated discs where pain variables are represented by interv...
