Semantic analysis of legal texts

Linguistic technologies for legal documents

CELI collaborates with the CNR's Istituto di Teoria e Tecniche dell'Informazione Giuridica in order to realize systems capable of facilitating such processes as the editing/publishing of legislative documents, or legal-domain information retrieval for professionals.
This legacy of knowledge and techniques has grown thanks to the coordinating role held by CELI in the internal project LOIS - Lexical Ontologies for legal Information Sharing.
The culmination of knowledge and experience has led CELI to create specific systems for the legal domain, targeted at simplifying the publication and retrieval of legal documents. In particular:

• analysis and conversion of legislative references found in the texts, including so-called elliptical constructions;
• automatic conversion of legislative proceedings into the XML format of Norme in Rete
• systems of legal information retrieval based as much on structured metadata as on free text search integrated with conceptual expansion.
