Professional knowledge such as legal information is commonly not accessible or cannot be easily understood by the public. By using the legal ontology which is previously established, the legal information retrieval based on ontology is to use for the information retrieval. In this paper, we propose the matters required for the design and develop of the framework for the legal information retrieval based on ontology. The framework is composed of the query conversion engine of SPARQL base for query to OWL ontology and user query type engine and return value refinement engine and web interface engine. The framework does the role as the infrastructure which retrieval the legal ontology effectually and which it serves and can be used in the semantic legal information retrieval service.

The law affects our daily lives, and hence, constitutes a crucial information resource. However, electronic access to legal information using keyword-based retrieval systems appears to provide users with limited satisfaction. There are many factors behind this inadequacy. First, the discrepancies between formal legal terms and their counterparts in common language are quite large. Second, the situation is further confounded by frequent abbreviations in legal terms. Third, even though there is a constant deluge of legal information, users' needs have evolved to demand more Q and A type searches. All of these factors make the existing retrieval systems inefficient and ineffective. This article suggests an ontology-based system as a means to deal with such difficulties. To that end, a legal retrieval system(experimental system), built on the basis of a newly-constructed law ontology, was tested against a keyword-based legal retrieval system(existing one), yielding data on their relative effectiveness in retrieval and user satisfaction.

In semantic information retrieval, we first need to build domain ontology and second, we need to convert the users' search keywords into a standard query such as SPARQL. In this paper, we propose a method that can automatically convert the users' search keywords into the SPARQL queries. Furthermore, our method can ensure effective performance in a specific domain such as law. Our method constructs the keyword history ontology by associating each keyword with a series of information when there are multiple keywords. The constructed ontology will convert keyword history ontology into SPARQL query. The automatic transformation method of SPARQL query proposed in the paper is converted into the query statement that is deemed the most appropriate by the user's intended keywords. Our study is based on the existing legal ontology constructions that supplement and reconstruct schema and use it as experiment. In addition, design and implementation of a semantic search tool based on legal domain and conduct experiments. Based on the method proposed in this paper, the semantic information retrieval based on the keyword is made possible in a legal domain. And, such a method can be applied to the other domains.

Although the various crime involved numerous digital evidence, the digital evidence is hard to be acknowledged as a evidence to proof the crime fact in court. We propose the method of verification for the legal admissibility of digital evidence using digital forensics ontology. In order to verify the legal admissibility of digital evidence, we will extend the digital ontology by standard digital forensics process from Digital Forensics Technical Manual defined by KNPA and set up the relation properties and the rule of property constraint to process class in the digital forensics ontology. It is possible for proposed ontology to utilize to plan the criminal investigation and to educate the digital forensics.

The information related to legislation is massive, and it takes much time and effort to manually build the legislation ontology. Thus, studies on machine-based automated building methods are underway. However, the studies to automatically construct such systems focus on using TBox construction, and those based on automated ABox construction, which corresponds to instances, theoretical systems and data building cases, has not yet been sufficiently developed. Therefore, this paper suggests using a semi-automatic ABox construction method based on sentence patterns to automatically build the ontology for the legislation of the Republic of Korea. Precision and Recall experiments were conducted to further discuss the performance of the suggested method. These experiments provide a comparison between the manual classification, and the triples built by the machines of the legal information by assessing the corresponding numerical values.

In this paper, we propose an OWL DL mapping rules for construction legal ontology based on the analyzed relationship between the structural features and elements of the statute. The mapping rule to be proposed is the method building the structure of the domestic statute, unique attribute of the statute, and reference relation between laws with TBox, and the legal sentence is analyzed, and the pattern type of the sentence is selected. It expresses with ABox. The proposed mapping rule is transformed to the information in which the computer can process the domestic legal document. It is usable for the legal knowledge base.

In this paper we describe an application of the lexical resource JurWordNet and of the Core Legal Ontology as a descriptive vocabulary for modeling legal domains. It can be viewed as the semantic component of a global standardisation framework for digital governments. A content description model provides a repository of structured knowledge aimed at supporting the semantic interoperability between sectors of Public Administration and the communication processes towards citizen. Specific conceptual models built from this base will act as a cognitive interface able to cope with specific digital government issues and to improve the interaction between citizen and Public Bodies. As a Case study, the representation of the click-on licences for re-using Public Sector Information is presented.

There have been numerous efforts to provide legal information to the general public easily. Most of the existing legal information services are based on keyword-oriented legal ontology. However, this keyword-oriented ontology construction has a sense of disparity from the relationship between the laws used together in actual cases. To solve this problem, it is necessary to study which laws are actually used together in various judicial precedents. However, this is difficult to implement with the existing methods used in computer science or law. In our study, we analyzed this by using topological data analysis, which has recently attracted attention very promisingly in the field of data analysis. In this paper, we applied the the Mapper algorithm, which is one of the topological data analysis techniques, to visualize the relationships that laws form organically in actual precedents.

This study uncovered ambiguity and inconsistency of the semantic relationships of the existing thesaurus by analyzing the concept relationships of AGROVOC and proposed the concept relationships of ontology in partially overcoming these limitations. By the results of analyzing the concept relationships, the study proposed conceptual model as most important part of conecept relationships of ontology and semantically developed concept relationship types. These relationships partially can perform inferences and must be useful for information knowledge system based on more exact semantic relationships. Also the study found out new relationship types and they will be useful for extension of the concept relationships of existing thesaurus. And these relationship types showed that they were useful for the existing thesaurus as Legal Thesaurus.

Linked Data is a web standard data definition method devised to connect, expand resources with a standardized type. Linked Data built in various areas expands existing knowledge through an open data cloud like LOD(Linked Open Data). A project to link and service existing knowledge through LOD is under way worldwide. However, LOD project in domestic is being participated in a specific field to the level of research. In this paper, we suggests a method to build the area of technical knowledge like legislations in type of Linked Data, and distribute such Linked Data built to LOD. The construction method suggested by this paper divides knowledge of legislations in structural, semantic, and integrated perspective, and builds each of them by converting to Linked Data according to the perspective. Also, such built Linked Legal Data prepares to link knowledge in a standardized type by distributing them onto LOD. Built Linked Legal Data are equipped with schema for link service in various types, and give help increase understand the access type to existing legal information.
