Winter and Summer in European Studies of Legal computational Ontologies
Between the mid-1990s and the early 2010s, European Union institutions funded several attempts to formalize lawmaking and legal information exchange, including projects to create a reference ontology of law as a basis for the exchange of legal information at the semantic level. This article covers this attempt, comments on the attained results attainted and why the research in the legal ontology field eventually entered the “winter”.
Closed Smart Contract Stack of the OpenLaw project
Zoomed in on the OpenLaw project. It’s not really open though.
Approaching Action-Centric Ontologies
Action-Centric Ontologies is an important technology that can enable building scalable representations of legal knowledge. The following article (in Russian) provides a few definitions for this research.
