Abstract

In modern states, the operation of the three branches of government (executive, legislative and judicial) results in the generation of a huge volume of data (e.g. legislative documents, decisions, reports, statistics etc.). Publication of government data in the form of Open Data is expected, among other benefits, to drive economic development and promote transparency. This is also true for legal data, since new services for citizens, companies, legal professionals and governments could emerge as a result of the availability of Legal Open Data. Since such information is usually published in unstructured formats, automated approaches could highly facilitate the transformation of unstructured data into structured Open Data, according to the 5-star Open Data scheme. In this paper, we present an ongoing project about the automated analysis and processing of Greek legal documents for their transformation into Legal Open Data. We briefly review the current state of Legal Open Data in Greece, we present the project's research questions and analyze our initial thoughts for the implementation methodology; we discuss the challenges of such an effort and finally we elaborate the expected contributions.

Abstract

Regulation of modern societies requires the generation of large sets of heterogeneous legal documents: bills, acts, decrees, administrative decisions, court decisions, legal opinions, circulars, etc. More and more legal publishing bodies publish these documents online, although usually in formats that are not machine-readable and without following Open Data principles. Until an open by default generation and publication process is employed, ex-post transformation of legal documents into Legal Open Data is required. Since manual transformation is a time-consuming and costly process, automated methods need to be applied. While some research efforts toward the automation of the transformation process exist, the alignment of such approaches with proposed Open Data methodologies in order to promote data exploitation is still an open issue. In this paper, we present a methodology aligned to the Open Data ecosystem approach for the automated transformation of Greek court decisions and legal opinions into Legal Open Data that builds on legal language processing methods and tools. We show that this approach produces Legal Open Data of satisfying quality while highly reducing the need for manual intervention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
