“…To these figures we must add internal regulations of firms. In Italy each bank employee is expected to know 6,000 pages of internal regulations 1 . Paper-based methods of researching laws and regulations are no longer fit for purpose.…”

“…Agnoloni et al [1]'s FrameNet ontology departs from the WordNet structure, emphasising that meaning depends on "under which Circumstances, which State of affairs is sanctioned under which Principle". Like the Legal Taxonomy Syllabus ontology, Agnoloni et al [1] separate concepts from terms.…”

This paper describes the Eunomos software, an advanced legal document and knowledge management system, based on legislative XML and ontologies. We describe the challenges of legal research in an increasingly complex, multi-level and multi-lingual world and how the Eunomos software helps users cut through the information overload to get the legal information they need in an organized and structured way and keep track of the state of the relevant law on any given topic. We describe the core system from workflow and technical perspectives, and discuss applications of the system for various user groups and our long term vision towards an Internet of Social Things, where laws can have an identity and be manipulated adding interpretation and can proactively inform interested users of their changes over time.

“…SALSA project (Burchardt et al, 2009) applies the FrameNet semantic tags to manually annotating a German corpus and automatically developing a frame-based lexicon of German. Other works have applied FrameNet frames to automatic development of lexicons using automatic transfer of corpus annotation in parallel corpora (Padó and Lapata, 2005), (Padó and Lapata, 2009), (Tonelli and Pianta, 2008) and for legal ontology improvement (Agnoloni et al, 2009). The objective of this paper is to evaluate the applicability of Frame Semantics theory and FrameNet paradigm for the semantic annotation of legal texts.…”
