*ABOUT THE WORKSHOP*

 

The legal domain applies to every aspect of people’s living and evolves
continuously, building a huge network of interlinked legal documents.

Therefore, it is important for a government to offer services that make
legal information easily accessible to the citizens, enabling them to defend
their rights, auditing public procurement, or to use legislation as part of
their job. It is equally important to have professionals (lawyers, judges,
administrations, etc.) access legislation in ways that allow them to do
their job easily (e.g., they might need to be able to see the evolution of a
law over time). Despite recent efforts to make all this accessible and
transparent to both citizens and the companies involved, the level of
implementation in different countries and layers of public administration
still makes access difficult. For this reason, in the age of the Web it is
important to develop applications for citizens and professionals easily, by
connecting the available legal information with other kinds of government or
private sector information.

 

The vision of the AI4LEGAL workshop ( <https://ai4legal.linkeddata.es/>
https://ai4legal.linkeddata.es/) is to bring together Artificial
Intelligence and practitioners to discuss the digitization of legal
documents, such as legislation and public procurement data, in today’s
interconnected world.
