Terminae Method and Integration Process for Legal Ontology Building

  • Conference paper
Advances in Applied Artificial Intelligence (IEA/AIE 2006)

Abstract

This paper describes the contruction method of a legal application ontology. This method is based on the merging of micro-ontologies built from European community directives. The terminae construction method from texts enhanced by an alignment process with a core legal ontology is used for building micro-ontologies. A merging process allows constructing the legal ontology.
