Prof. Núria Casellas writes about semantics, ontologies, and legal knowledge management in Semantic Enhancement of Legal Information… Are We Up for the Challenge? in the VoxPopuLII blog from Cornell Law School.
As the blog editors note:
For many of us, the technical aspects of ontologies and the Semantic Web are unfamiliar. Yet these technologies are increasingly being incorporated into the legal information systems that we use everyday, so it’s in our interest to learn more about them. For those of us who would like a user-friendly introduction to ontologies and the Semantic Web, here are some suggestions:
