An Ontology Driven Framework for Legal Software

法律资源和文件越来越多地以电子形式提供，使法律从业人员能够使用以前不可能的合作和搜索技术。通过向法律资源和文档添加额外的语义标记，可以增强处理能力。其中包括根据现有的概念链接搜索资源的能力，以及整合使用不同术语的资源的能力。该项目将通过开发一个新的本体驱动的协作式法律软件框架来实现这些能力。这将为价值95亿美元的澳大利亚法律服务部门带来显著的效率提升和成本节约。

Legal resources and documents are increasingly available in electronic form allowing previously impossible collaborative and searching techniques for legal practitioners. By adding extra semantic markup to legal resources and documents increased processing capabilities are enabled. These include the ability to search for resources based on there existing a conceptual link and the ability to integrate resources that use different terminology. This project will enable these capabilities via the development of a novel ontology driven framework for collaborative legal software. This will allow significant efficiency gains and cost savings in the $9.5 billion Australian legal services sector.
