4th Workshop on Legal Ontologies and Artificial Intelligence Techniques
“Legal Concepts and Ontologies: knowledge representation, comparison, harmonization and learning”

July 7th, 2010, Fiesole (Florence), Italy
Paper submission: May 3rd, 2010 (***Extended deadline: May 16th, 2010***)

held in conjunction with Deon-10

The LOAIT workshop aims to offer an overview of theories and well-founded applications that combine Legal Ontologies and AI techniques, with regard both to theories and implementations.
Over the last years the management of legal information has been significantly influenced by approaches from Artificial Intelligence (AI). In particular, legal reasoning, advanced semantic and cross-language legal information retrieval, legal drafting and document classification, have proved to be fertile areas where ontologies are successfully applied.
