Legal Ontologies

As discussed in the fouth chapter, re-usability is frequently declared as sine qua non feature of modern ontology engineering. Although thoroughly examined in general theory of knowledge management models the re-usability issue is still barely a declaration in the domain of legal ontologies. The similar situation also applies to statute-specific ontologies. Those knowledge modeling entities are well described especially as an opposition to the general application legal ontologies. Yet it is trivial to say that most of the developed legal ontologies so far are those generic ones. And this sole fact should not surprise as the very specialized knowledge models – usually harder to develop – are at the same time narrowed with their utility. Of course in terms of re-usability this simply means that this feature may be largely disabled in this kind of knowledge models. In this chapter the authors face both challenges, i.e. as an excuse for presentation of the most interesting in their opinion trends and works in the field the authors demonstrate the practical approach to modeling copyright law case by re-using statute-specific ontologies.

Hajime Yoshino’s Logical Jurisprudence (LJ) is an important concept in legal informatics. Yoshino aims for a logic-based systematization in the legal domain. He focuses on legal reasoning and systematization. Inevitably, embracing law as a whole brings us to Hans Kelsen’s Pure Theory of Law. In sum, three issues are important in LJ: logic, Kelsen and legal informatics. In this paper we aim to visualize the architecture of LJ. We suggest expanding this with legal ontologies and words. The granularity of word-phrase-sentence-text is about different methods which apply to different units.

Legal Procedures

Since Aristotle, legal philosophy explores and develops its concept of the iustitia distributiva. Currently, a trend in legal informatics both transforms and adopts long-established traditional cognitive patterns of (legal) philosophy. For example, it reveals the antique and medieval roots of (legal) ontologies. Similarly, new concepts of societal distribution can be elaborated in the context of multimedia and therefore multisensory legal machines. By reference to automats performing legal transactions, traffic lights, and ticket machines, we will explain new concepts of legal procedures. These concepts base on algorithms governing these procedures. Such distributive multimedia and hence multisensory legal machines are not only applications of legal informatics and e-government, but they can also be adequately analysed within the theoretical and practical framework of multisensory law. This new legal discipline in the making particularly focuses on the uni- and multisensory aspects and implications of the new ICT to which the machines at issue belong.
