Description
The Workshop on Legal Data Analysis of the Central European Institute of Legal Informatics (CEILI) intends to focus on representation, analysis and reasoning of legal data in huge text corpora and information systems.
The pervasive use of information systems has led to tremendous success in enterprises and businesses. Following a user-centric design, information systems (IS) have proven their value in today’s companies on several occasions. This especially holds for time-, data-, and knowledge-intensive tasks, which most of the processes and tasks in legal science and legal practice are. This workshop is intended to be a forum for discussion of research ideas, questions and developments addressing all kind of concrete user support in processes related to the representation, analysis and reasoning on legal information. Most recent developments have unveiled unexpected possibilities in terms of Natural Language Processing, Named Entity Recognition and additional analysis and measurements. Algorithms that can analyze semantics of textual and structural information can easily be integrated in existing systems and can operate on existing data. Considering the user perspective is fundamental during the planning, design, implementation and maintenance of IS. This workshop particularly encourages submissions describing concrete user problems, needs, concerns in the context of legal data and legal analysis.
Participation is most welcome on all topics relevant to these research domains, including:
- User stories and use cases of legal analysis in combination with IS
- User centered design in the domain of legal informatics
- Representation of legal information and legislative texts (including contracts and patents)
- Modeling of legal information and legislative texts (including contracts and patents)
- Reasoning of legal information and legislative texts (including contracts and patents)
- Design of electronic contracts and SLAs
- Usage of ontologies in information systems to support representation, analysis and reasoning on legal information
- Big Data analysis of textual information in IS
- Analysis of the network like structure of legal systems and legislations
- Forecast and prediction models on legal data
- Natural Language Processing in IS
- Interoperability of logic frameworks and natural language processing
- Drawbacks and Limitations of logic frameworks, natural language processing, usage of ontologies in IS, etc.
- Measurements, such as quantitative linguistics, and correlations on legal data
- Information retrieval in IS, including optimization, reformulation, refinement and expansion of queries and facets
We invite researchers to submit their original papers (drafts 4-10 pages, final papers: 8 pages, 2400 words) on these themes. In case of acceptance, the paper will be included in the workshop materials.
