The e-Sentencias prototype: a procedural ontology for legal multimedia applications in the Spanish Civil Courts
Get PDFSearch, retrieval, and management of multimedia contents are challenging tasks for users and researchers alike. We introduce a software-hardware system for the global management of the multimedia contents produced by Spanish Civil Courts. The ultimate goal is to obtain an automatic classification of images and segments of the audiovisual records that, coupled with textual semantics, allows an efficient navigation and retrieval of judicial documents and additional legal sources. This paper describes our knowledge acquisition process, sets a typology of Spanish Civil hearings as performed in practice, and a preliminary procedural ontology at its actual stage of development (e-Sentencias ontology). A discussion on procedural, contextual and multimedia ontologies is also provided
Federated description logics for the semantic web
Get PDFThe thesis deals with a family of federated description logics
for creating modular ontologies in the semantic web. All these
logics share modularity, the possibility to reuse concept names
and role names by importing, and context-sensitive interpretation
of all logical connectives. Apart from the main basic language
F-ALCI, we present a lattice-based extension LF-ALCI, a
probabilistic extension PF-ALCI and an extension that employs
knowledge operators F-ALCIK. All languages are based on the
ordinary well-known description logic ALCI
