----------------------------------------------------------------
Legal scholars and practitioners are feeling increasingly overwhelmed with
the expanding set of legislation and case law available these days, which
is assuming more and more of an international character. For example,
European legislation is estimated to be 170,000 pages long, of which over
100,000 pages have been produced in the last ten years. Furthermore,
legislation is available in unstructured formats, which makes it difficult
for users to cut through the information overload. As the law gets more
complex, conflicting, and ever-changing, more advanced methodologies are
required for analyzing, representing and reasoning on legal knowledge.
The management of large repositories of norms, and the semantic access and
reasoning to these norms are key challenges in Legal Informatics, which is
experiencing growth in activity, also at the industrial level.
Specifically, it is necessary to address both conceptual challenges, such
as the role of legal interpretation in mining and reasoning, and
computational challenges, such as the handling of big legal data, and the
complexity of regulatory compliance.
Legal domain has always been attractive to language and semantic
technology because of its importance for the society with respect to
globalization and common markets as well as for its challenges for
formalization and specific language use. For this reason, several research
projects in the legal domain have been recently funded by the EU and
similar institutions, among which ?MIREL: MIning and REasoning with Legal
texts?.
The aim of MIREL-2019 workshop is to bridge the gap between the community
working on legal ontologies and NLP parsers and the community working on
reasoning methods and formal logic, towards these objectives described
above.
We invite submissions of long and short papers:
- Long papers: up to 12 pages plus 2 additional pages for bibliography,
in LNCS format.
- Long papers: up to 7 pages (bibliography included), in LNCS format.
The proceedings will be published in a volume of the CEUR proceedings
series.
Selected submissions will have also the possibility to be published on the
IfCoLoG - Journal of Logics and their Applications, benefitting from a
fast lane.
Authors shall submit their papers electronically via EasyChair before the
due date in PDF format:
