Abstract

In this paper an approach to the Semantic Web in the legal domain is discussed: it is obtained by modelling legislative document semantic profiles using a model of normative provisions. An implementation of this approach through RDF/OWL able to describe provisions and their relations is presented. In particular, an implementation of Hohfeldian legal fundamental relations between provisions, as well as a reasoning example by using the proposed approach is shown.
