Searching and Analyzing Cross-Border Multilingual Legislation on the Semantic Web
摘要
This paper demonstrates how Linked Open Data (LOD) can be used for publishing, searching, and analyzing legislative documents in an international cross-broader multilingual setting. Cross-border services are needed, e.g., when one is moving from one country to another and looking for regulations for immigration, heath care, education, etc. in one’s own language. The main novelty of the FinEstLawSampo demonstrator presented, based on legislation from Finland, Estonia, and the EU, is the provision of heterogeneous cross-country, multilingual, distributed legal data through multiple application perspectives for faceted searching, browsing, and for data analysis in legal informatics.
