Abstract:This paper presents a Semantic Web–based model for detecting contradictions in regulations. We introduce a conceptual model of contradictions and, on the basis of this model, a knowledge representation–based model is used, which is able to represent the semantics of provision types and related properties. The usefulness of the model is shown through an example.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
