=3D=3D LOAIT Description
In the last few years Legal Informatics (the study of methods for automating
the treatment of legal information) has been significantly influenced by
Artificial Intelligence (AI) approaches. For instance, Machine Learning
techniques have successfully been applied to problems of legal documents
classification, legal information retrieval, legal knowledge discovery and
extraction.
As the use of these techniques becomes more widespread it also becomes
clearer how to enhance their performances. One way of doing this is to
employ structured (domain) knowledge in order to reduce complexity and
support correct reasoning. Legal Ontologies are playing a crucial role in
providing such knowledge at various levels of specificity and formality.
The LOAIT workshop aims at offering an overview of theories and well-founded
applications that combine Legal Ontologies and AI techniques. Similarly to
past events organized in conjunction with ICAIL-97, Jurix 2001 and ICAIL-03
the LOAIT workshop will constitute a valuable opportunity for researchers
and practitioners in AI, AI&Law, Legal Ontologies and related fields to
discuss problems, exchange information and compare perspectives.
Authors are invited to submit papers describing original completed work,
work in progress, interesting problems, case studies or research trends
related to one or more of the topics of interest listed below. Submitted
papers will be refereed by two experts based on originality, significance
and technical soundness.
=3D=3D=3D=3D
=3D=3D LOAIT Topics of Interest
Topics of Interest include but are not limited to:
Legal Ontologies and Natural Language Processing
Legal Ontologies and Machine Learning for classification tasks
Legal Ontologies for text categorization
Legal Ontologies and the Semantic Web
Legal knowledge discovery and organization by AI approaches
Ontologies and legal standard modelling languages

procedures, contracts, legal causality, etc.
Ontological views on models of legal reasoning (e.g. regulatory
compliance, case-based reasoning, reasoning with uncertainty, etc.)
Multilingual and terminological aspects of regulatory ontologies
Engineering of regulatory ontologies (e.g. conceptual analysis,
representation, modularization and layering, reusability, evolution and
dynamics, etc.)
Experiences with projects and applications involving regulatory
ontologies (e.g. legal knowledge based systems, legal information retrieval
systems, e-government or e-commerce applications)
Modeling legal norms, concepts, rules, cases, principles, values
and procedures, methods for managing organizational change when introducing
legal knowledge systems
